Going grassroots to get the Job done

摘要

In any fight, the only way to gain support for a cause is from the bottom up. The more people who know about and support an issue, the broader the base becomes to support a growing cause. Locomotive Engineers are faced with a number of issues that are all important: van safety standards, cab conditions, fatigue and rest issues, accuracy of information provided to engineers, safety and training for hazardous materials transport and ― the current hot topic ― remote control operations (RCO), which not only rob our engineers of the jobs they are the most qualified to perform, but also endanger the safety of our communities where these remotes are operated.
