The Trump Administration has rapidly unveiled a series of policy changes from suspensions of federal funding to tariffs that create potential disruptions for rail projects and could lead to disputes, renegotiated deals, terminated or suspended contracts, and potentially, litigation. These far-reaching actions will require short line railroads to react quickly to the changing landscape and to strategize in advance to protect their interests. Join legal experts from Steptoe LLP and ASLRRA for an engaging discussion of these challenges and strategies for addressing them.  Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in Q&A at the end of the presentation.

Join Tony Hatch of ABH Consulting for insight into the current railroad market. Hatch will explore today’s industry, which is beset by issues related to labor dynamics, regulatory pressures, international conflict and supply chain instability, and provide his perspective on how shippers, investors and rail are affected. Join us for what promises to be an engaging discussion that will help railroad professionals understand these challenges and see the opportunities in them. We are blocking 90 minutes for this session to allow ample time for audience Q&A at the end of the presentation.

Short line railroads are seeing a major uptick in union activity on their properties and there appears to be no property that is “too small” for labor organization. What should carriers do to try to prevent union organization of their employees? And, once the unions have established the right to a union vote with the National Mediation Board, what can carriers do during the election process to sway their employees against voting for the union? This webinar will provide answers to all your questions and allow for an open discussion for ASLRRA members to share their experiences with one another.
