This episode we talk with APFA Government Affairs team member Allie Malis We talk about the importance of passenger support in their quest to get a contract done. Five years without a raise. It is outrageous the fight they are in. It is our fight too. They need our help and support. Learn more by visiting the APFA.org website and follow them on all the socials too.  Allie and I talk for about forty minutes and you will learn more about why they do NOT have a simple operation and can just withold their labor like so many can. They fall under the Railway Labor Act which is an interesting thing to learn about too. It only benefits the company in all cases, ask the Railrod Union members. 

Here is a link to the the Julie Hedrick video on Twitter Allie and I speak about.
