McKenna Schueler at The Orlando Weekly reports that roughly 100 On-Board Attendants employed by the For-Profit Passenger Rail Line Brightline in Florida have voted to Unionize with the Transport Workers Union (TWU). Their action was a push to address safety issues and fight for higher pay and better job benefits, including improved sick leave.  It’s the first Union formed by Brightline Workers in the state of Florida and the largest newly organized group of Railroad Workers nationwide in over 20 years, according to the TWU.
