Railroad companies have penalized workers for taking the time to make needed repairs and created a culture in which supervisors threaten and fire the very people hired to keep trains running safely. Regulators say they can’t stop this intimidation.
The article mentions one guy recorded his manager (audio), but it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference and there’s hundreds of cases that went to court. One infuriating thing is that one court case, I think it was the one who recorded that audio, got immediately dismissed by OSHA??
I think workers need to start wearing bodycams.
Office workers (the smart ones) have been doing this for years.
" “please email that?” Exists for us to cover our asses
“as per our conversation on the phone this morning…”
That’s just leaving a paper trail though. Camera would be next level lol
