Railway workers who helped clean up the wreckage of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio last month have been suffering from health issues such as migraines and nausea, according to a union representative.
Jonathan Long, a Norfolk Southern Railway employee for nearly 30 years and the general chairman of the American Rail System Federation of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (BMWED), made the claim in a letter (pdf) to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on March 1.
