Solidarity with Railroad Workers

RSVP for the Zoom link (the event will also be recorded and live captioning will be provided)

Join a panel of rank-and-file railroad workers for a discussion of one of the most important struggles in recent labor history.

The rail industry has seen massive deregulation, lean production, and persistent undermining of working conditions that have made the work all but intolerable.

Despite enormous political pressure, railroad workers are fed up, evidenced by the sections of workers who are voting NO on a Tentative Agreement that they feel doesn't address the base safety and quality of life issues they are willing to strike over.

Come hear Railroad Workers United members speak about their struggle, the situation on the rails, and how you can get involved in efforts to support them. In our world of incredible violence and oppression, the struggles of railroad workers must be connected to the struggles of teachers, nurses, service workers, climate and anti-war activists, and all working people in a general fight for peace, freedom, and dignity for all!

Featuring: Engineers and conductors from Railroad Workers United, facilitated by Maximillian Alvarez from The Real News, who has covered this struggle extensively.

Hosted by Railroad Workers United and Haymarket Books.

Co-sponsored by working class organizations, including union locals, rank-and-file caucuses, and DSA groups like Worcester DSA, DSA’s National Labor Commission, the DSA Restaurant Organizing Project, DSA International Committee, DSA Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color, the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD), and more.
