Members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) Rail Division, affiliates of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, and community allies will gather for an informational picket outside Union Station, 800 N. Alameda St., Los Angeles, CA. The members will gather to advocate for the passage of the Railway Safety Act to help keep the Los Angeles community safe. The proposed legislation aims to enhance safety measures for railway employees and communities while transporting goods and passengers.

The bipartisan Railway Safety Act (S. 576) focuses on vital safety measures and creates a significant step toward safeguarding railway employees and the public. It also would prohibit railroad carriers from imposing impractical deadlines on railcar and locomotive inspectors. This ensures inspections are conducted thoroughly and diligently, promoting overall rail safety for communities.
