The rail industry has cut 45 thousand jobs over the last 6 years.
They fired thousands from their private security force since the start of covid and then when train cars began being robbed they blamed it on bail reform laws in California.
Robert@radicalrobit jesus christ they're trying to cut the crew aboard an entire ass train in half, or put it another way, leaving one single person in charge of twenty fucking thousand tons of shit going 60 mph
@robotcarsley They're fighting tooth and nail against a possible regulatory change to require TWO people on a 3 mile long train. It's fucking nuts.
‮Andrew Cassidy@robotcarsley @radicalrobit just ask the Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic how well that went for them and an entire Canadian town
