1. @openmarkets just filed an amicus brief in Trump v. Slaughter on whether the President has constitutional power to remove executive and administrative heads at will. We argue emphatically no.
Thank you to @jamietryhard for serving as our counsel of record!

Trucks inflict 8x greater costs on the public than rail. Freight transportation policy must prioritize a modeshift from truck to rail.

A broken rate review process reinforces Class I railroads’ monopoly power over shippers. This hinders reindustrialization, forces freight onto trucks, and raises costs for consumers and the public.

Merging won’t make railroads competitive with trucking. Wall Street’s railroads have prioritized profit over growth for decades. The UP-NS deal only perpetuates that model.

Railroad mergers pit labor unions against each other with false promises. The only way forward is a united labor voice.

Railroads do need to grow their traffic, but that’s not the real purpose behind the UP-NS merger.

Railroads once competed with each other on the quality of their service. As the industry consolidated, shippers became captive, and those standards of service went out the window.

Corporations used to be regulated to balance profits with public interests. Over the last 50 years, those regulations have been decimated, leaving the public with little recourse.

Class I railroads’ practices have boosted stock prices, at the expense of workers, safety, and service. What is working for Wall Street is a disaster for Main Street.
