Dan Lipinski: “One group of major industry stakeholders never celebrated the Staggers Act: railroad workers.”

I believe that Congress should establish a dispute resolution process between commuter railroads and freight railroads at the STB.

I really have some deep misgivings about my own decision to pull that amendment.

The rampant delays affecting Amtrak's trains threaten the railroad's growth and even its long-term viability as an operator.

I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
