Rail Workers Sick Leave

Dec. 1, 2022 | H.Con.Res. 119

Unlike many workers, railroad employees are not guaranteed a single paid sick day. This resolution provides for seven days of sick leave for railroad employees. Rail workers are an integral part of the supply chain that makes America's economy run. As essential workers, they showed up day in and day out through the pandemic to keep our country moving forward. They deserve good wages, fair treatment and vital protections like paid sick leave.
