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.

A Hard-Pressed Claim on Cold-Pressed Juices Print
Thursday, January 11 2018

A class action lawsuit has been filed against a juice company for failure to disclose on its labels that its cold-pressed juices are also high pressured processed (HPP).

Plaintiff Josh Berger has filed a proposed class action lawsuit in New York against Forager Project, the maker of cold-pressed vegetable juices. In his lawsuit, Berger alleges that because the label references the first part of processing (cold-pressed), it should also note that the juices are then subject to HPP, a form of pasteurization that utilizes high pressure to reduce the microbial content. All juices sold in grocery stores are required to be pasteurized – including cold-pressed juices — and Forager’s website references its use of HPP in its processing.

Forager declined to comment on the lawsuit. According to news reports, other lawsuits filed by Berger’s attorneys for failure to disclose the use of HPP have been dismissed in previous years.
