Mark Herring
AFSCME, SMART, and UFCW Local 400 announced this week their endorsements of Attorney General Mark R. Herring’s re-election campaign.
“The work that Attorney General Herring has done advocating for fair compensation and expanding protections for Virginia’s workers has been nothing short of impeccable,” said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. “The American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees is confident that Mark Herring will continue to carry out a pro-worker agenda that will always support workers in the commonwealth, including the expansion of collective bargaining rights, and we happily support him for re-election.”

Two BNSF workers died this month due to COVID-19 and work accident
Two workers for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad have died so far this month, one due to COVID-19 and the other in an industrial accident. Their deaths are the product of continuous speedup and cost-cutting, with which the railroad industry has continued in spite of the pandemic.
Fifty-three-year-old locomotive engineer Bryan D. Stowe died from COVID-19 last Monday. He had 23 years seniority at BNSF and was member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLET) Division 98 in Lincoln, Nebraska. BNSF is the largest Class 1 railroad in North America and has 41,000 employees.
