Stop the Railroad Merger — Protect Workers and Communities

The rail industry is already dominated by a handful of powerful corporations — and now it could get even worse. As The Associated Press reports, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are moving forward with plans to merge, a deal that would create one of the largest rail monopolies in U.S. history.

If approved, this merger would mean fewer choices for shippers, higher costs for consumers, and more pressure on rail workers who are already stretched to the breaking point. It would also give a single company massive control over essential freight lines that communities rely on for fuel, food, and basic goods.

Congress and federal regulators must step in to halt this dangerous merger and protect workers, consumers, and public safety. Competition, accountability, and fairness — not consolidation — are what keep our economy running.

Add your name to demand Congress and regulators block the Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger and defend America’s rail workers and communities.

When corporations grow too big to be held accountable, it’s working people who pay the price. Together, we can stop this merger and ensure our rail system serves the public interest — not corporate greed.
