2025 Labor Day Greetings

from

Railroad Workers United

Labor Day is more than a BBQ.

RWU joins our brothers, sisters and comrades across the United States today, in partnership and solidarity with the May Day Strong Campaign and the AFL-CIO, to voice that workers built this country and we’re taking a stand against the billionaires this Labor Day!

While we celebrate today, we must remember that workers rights are not simply a historical struggle, but an ever-present and ongoing one, and RWU's fight for working railroaders persists across a range of issues and organizing campaigns. This September, we're at work vocally opposing further Class One railroad mega-mergers in light of the proposed merger between Union Pacific and the Norfolk Southern. Industry consolidation is bad for service, bad for safety and trackside communities, and unequivocally bad for railroad workers.

Read recent press in The Guardian in which RWU members speak out and a new interview from the Real News Network. We also invite railroad workers across North America to take a brief survey below and give us your opinion on the proposed merger between the UP and NS.

Labor Day is about all working people and our historic and gallant struggle – through strikes, boycotts, picket lines, sit-ins, occupations, and more – to further the cause of the working class. Railroad Workers United is proud to be part of this great tradition of working people fighting back against the wealthy and powerful, the big corporations, and the Wall Street bankers. We invite you to join in the fight.

Solidarity Forever!
