I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
One group of major industry stakeholders never celebrated the Staggers Act: railroad workers.
Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.
I don't think that your decision to furlough these 2,000 employees is going to save the day.
