So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

Wednesday, July 20 2011

Sixteen people from Edison, NJ, are suing a local Indian restaurant after being served meat samosas rather than vegetarian samosas.
 
According to news reports, the 16 people are devout Hindus and do not eat meat for religious reasons.  Thus, they claim they specifically asked their server several times whether the samosas had meat in them, to which the server at the Indian restaurant, Moghul Express, replied that they didn't even make meat samosas.  When the plaintiffs ate the samosas, which tasted of meat, they inquired again of the contents and this time allegedly were told they did contain meat.
 
The plaintiffs decided to sue for emotional and monetary damages, claiming that eating meat had caused them serious spiritual harm, which could only be rectified by an expensive pilgrimage to the Ganges River. They asked Moghul Express to pay for the trip.
 
A lower court ruled that the suit was inadmissable.  On appeal, the New Jersey Appellate Court found that the plaintiffs' case met the basic prima facie qualifications to proceed and the remanded the case back to the Superior Court.
