Two years after the East Palestine, Ohio, disaster, laws meant to fix the situation remain stalled. With railroads prioritizing profits over safety, the call for federal action grows louder as communities and workers continue to suffer: smart-union.org/the-east-pal…

“Technology is not safer simply because it is technological. It is people that make the difference … There is no one better suited to drive every conversation and every effort towards safety than labor.”

On #MartinLutherKingJrDay, SMART commemorates the life of a man who devoted his life to civil rights, racial justice & equality for all. Dr. King explicitly connected the Civil Rights & labor movements; we are committed to following his example as we fight for a more just world.

Yup, after they destroyed taxis, tried to kill public transit, screwed their drivers out of basic labor protections (and the state out of UI) — now they want to fully destroy driving jobs and force you into a driverless car. No thank you.

Thank you City Attorney @DavidChiu for using the full powers of your office to prioritize labor law enforcement, hold bad actors accountable, and protect working people!

This agreement with WorkWhile is part of our ongoing, groundbreaking work to fight misclassification. We will not tolerate companies denying workers their rights and benefits, and now thousands of CA workers will have their stolen wages returned to them.

Last weekend, we looked at the stakes for rail safety this November. Today, we look at the Trump Project 2025's intent to gut public transit and jeopardize the jobs of our nation's bus and transit operators. SMART members and the communities we serve deserve better!

The Trump Project 2025 agenda is an assault on our union, our industries and working Americans nationwide.
On November 5, vote like your paycheck is at stake — because it is.
