BMWED Protests Despicable Genesee & Wyoming Railroad Union Busting

Published: Jun 26 2023 11:53AM

On Friday, June 23rd in Jacksonville, Fla. and Rochester, N.Y., the BMWED protested the despicable union busting actions of Genesee & Wyoming Railroad Engineering Services (G&W RES), publicly shaming their miserly, greedy, retaliatory firing of 31 workers who voted to join our Union last month. That action violates federal law and G&W’s attempt to punish these workers for organizing and improving their work conditions will not stand.

Gathered outside the railroad’s two headquarters, BMWED members and other labor allies brought loud attention to how cowardly G&W management behaved when it hastily fired these men. Television news station, radio outlets and newspapers all covered the action and helped us spread the word that G&W RES is a heartlessly cruel, terribly run company.

Our lawsuit remains pending in federal court and we will be back to keep the pressure on these crooks. Solidarity forever!
