Jen Wallis is a railroad worker and health and safety advocate who
was injured and blew the whistle on the Warren Buffet owned
railroad BNSF. She is a member of IBT BLET Division 238 and
Railroad Workers United RWU who works in the Seattle area.
She discusses her injury and the systemic attack on workers
health and safety by the railroad and how this threatens the community
and public due to dangerous oil cars and lack of proper manning.
This includes systemic retaliation, workplace bullying and intimidation for
workers who fight for health and safety on the railroads
She also discusses the role of some union officials in pushing 1 man crews
even though these labor reductions are serious threats to the safety of the
railroad workers and the communities that railroads travel through.
This presentation was made in San Francisco on July 19, 2014 at a
conference of the Injured Workers National Network.
