So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

A former server at Washington, D.C.'s iconic W Hotel's P.O.V. Lounge, with views of the White House, is suing her former employer, claiming that it retaliated against her for complaining about the uniforms.

Jahaira Bratton, a server at P.O.V. from 2010 to 2013, described the uniform in her complaint as "halter tops and very short skirts with a slit up the back."  According to Bratton, waitresses were not allowed to wear a supportive bra at work.

"If any of the girls came in with a bra on, they would say, 'No, you can't do that,'" said Jennifer Bezdicek, Bratton's attorney.  "She's very large-breasted, and they wouldn't let them wear bras or normal bras with it. It kind of looked ridiculous and looked sluttier than it should have."

According to news reports, Bratton is seeking $350,000 in damages.
