Tom Buffenbarger, an independent labor voice, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and spoke about the failure of Congress to secure needed paid sick days for rail workers.
Buffenbarger explained that railroad workers have been deemed essential, and could lose their jobs for using sick days.
He then compared the plight of the railway worker to problems employers are facing in the airline industry.
Buffenbarger detailed how preventative healthcare measurers can save lives and expressed concern that not enough workers are given the opportunity by their employers to seek this care.
