Rep. Payne, Jr. Introduces Bill to Give Rail Workers Paid Sick Leave

Press Release

Date: May 11, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Health and Health Care

"Our freight rail workforce should not have to keep our economy moving without having adequate paid sick leave. The Freight Rail Workforce Health and Safety Act would make sure they don't have to,"

"This legislation would require Class I railroads to provide seven days of paid sick leave to rail workers so they can recover from illness and take care of their families. As freight railroads make record profits, their workers should not have to decide between a paycheck and their health."
