We oppose this proposed railroad merger because it risks reducing competition, weakening service reliability, and increasing harm to workers, shippers, and communities. Merger decisions of this scale have long-lasting consequences, and input from the working class plays a critical role in ensuring regulators fully understand their real-world impacts. By participating in the review process, the public can help hold decision-makers accountable and ensure that railroad policy serves the broader public interest—not just corporate consolidation.

Reading Materials

We’ve compiled research, articles, expert analysis, and historical context to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. We’ve also included union statements on the merger.

Spread the Word

Handouts and social media tools. Help spread the word with your fellow workers, neighbors, and local elected officials. This merger will impact us all, and we all should have a say in the process.

Public Comments

We support meaningful public participation by helping communities understand how to engage in the regulatory process. This includes explaining how to submit effective public comments and elevating community perspectives in merger reviews.
