Many politicians, business people, and just the general public should put some time in a rail worker's shoes.

Just try putting another shift in the locomotive for another 10 hours after only 6 hours of rest.

Or get yourself out of bed when your boss phoes you at 2:00 a.m. to tell you a train has derailed 200 miles away, and we need you on a clean up crew two hours ago. Then spend two days cleaning up with little sleep, working around heavy machinery.

These are situations that can be managed--if there was the right culture for such management.
