CSX Transportation Inc. violated the anti-retaliation provisions of the Federal Railroad Safety Act when it suspended an employee at its Selkirk locomotive shop after he notified management of numerous alleged safety hazards and FRSA violations, OSHA has found.
The employee, who was acting in his capacity as a union official, provided the plant superintendent with a letter on Sept. 6, 2013, detailing the alleged violations and the union's intention to withdraw its support of the shop's safety committee because of the violations.
