Last year, Railroad Workers United (RWU) took the bold and innovative step forward to advocate for public ownership/control of the rail industry. In fact, this move is actually taking a page from the playbook of rail workers and their unions from more than 100 years ago, when every rail union and the vast majority of rail workers saw this as a solution to many of their problems. In a national plebiscite, railroaders voted overwhelmingly to support the Plumb Plan which advocated rail nationalization with worker control. RWU adopted a Resolution in support of public ownership and has built a national Campaign to advance the effort.
Last winter, RWU contracted to produce a short (11-minute) film to assist in promoting the Campaign, to raise awareness and to build support for the national effort for rail in the public interest. Due to a number of extenuating factors, the film - originally scheduled for release last spring - is finally complete and ready to view. We hope you enjoy it and will circulate it broadly!
