Metro-North Railroad fined for retaliatiing against employees
Metro-North Commuter Railroad Co. – a company whose safety culture was criticized by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) after a fatal trainderailment in the Bronx in December -- is in trouble with the feds again.
OSHA investigations have determined that the company violated the anti-discrimination provisions of the Federal Railroad Safety Act between 2011 and 2013 when it disciplined seven Connecticut employees for following their physicians' instructions.
