Fallen Rails

“Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living” -Mother Jones

Our brothers & sisters continue to be killed on the job and what we see from the railroads are continuous testing harassment and ineffective "blame the worker" safety programs.

We must continue to build the rank-and-file solidarity that will empower us to take real action when it comes to on-the-job safety. Meanwhile, RWU will continue to honor every fallen brother or sister, regardless of craft or union.

By no means can we guarantee that our list below is complete, but we will try to make it as complete as possible and it will remain a work in progress for quite some time. If you know of anyone that we missed on this list, please contact us with the information.
