There is still a lot of work @POTUS & Congress must do to fix the #FreightRail problems & rebuild the #SupplyChain. To make things in America, we need to be able to move things!

Farm products like grains and soybeans don’t get to market. Patients don’t receive their prescriptions. The chemical industry completely shuts down. We have to do our part.

Not so Thankful: A pending #RailStrike that could begin Dec. 5th has potential to spike inflation up an addt'l 4% - atop already record-high 8% Y/Y #PPI.
This is critical, and it's become clear #Congress needs to take action.
Please, urge them to act: bit.ly/3B2LHmT

Thank you, @FERChatterjee, for an insightful discussion on why we need to fix #FreightRail to fight inflation & grow our economy. More than 500K workers are counting on Congress & the STB to find a solution!

The fact that there is not a freight railroad strike happening this week is a huge win for the US economy and its still struggling supply chain. But that doesn't mean that the freight railroads are providing good service to their customers. cnn.it/3xEfUXo

“The question of whether workers decide to strike on Friday is overshadowing a bigger issue: the railroad industry is currently in turmoil, and even if a strike is averted, customers including farmers and energy producers say that the industry needs an overhaul.”
New, from me: America's railroads are in trouble, even without a strike. time.com/6213399/railroad-st…

.@RepDonaldPayne will likely tout legislation he introduced in August, the “Freight Rail Shipping Fair Market Act,” which aims to provide service standards and help the STB fund its growing role in #PassengerRail. Groups like @AmChemistry support this legislation #HR8649.

Make your voice heard by Congress! Send a message supporting the Freight Rail Shipping Fair Market Act. #agretailers
Why? It'll create market conditions that promote better rail service & establish incentives for expanded freight rail service. ow.ly/pwPt50KFy2W

Marty Oberman, chair of the Surface Transportation Board, speaks about the STB’s efforts regarding freight rail service in the U.S. “It’s quite clear that the main force driving how the railroads are being managed these days are the pressures of stockholders.”

The Freight Rail Shipping Fair Market Act was introduced recently. ARA supports this legislation because it will reauthorize the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and create a fair marketplace for Class I freight railroads & their captive shippers. ow.ly/6hT950KhPTE

"I'm sad to say that the current state of freight rail is not great," Marty Oberman, chairman of the Surface Transportation Board says at the TTD roundtable. "I'm not optimistic about the pace at which rail service can recover, it is affecting every aspect of the economy"

"AFPM is appreciative of the STB members who traveled to Morris to tour this facility & to the @LyondellBasell staff for opening their doors to us. Nothing conveys the importance of competition in freight rail better than seeing the effects of it firsthand.” – AFPM VP @benerg03
