This is a disingenuous argument. None of what rail workers have requested in their collective negotiations would have prevented this accident. The engineer was aware of the bearing failure more than 20 miles before the accident site, reported it to management and the railroad’s management ordered him to continue moving. No amount of paid sick days will fix that kind of problem. You could have 100 staff on every train and it wouldn’t prevent an accident like this one.
