An Act relative to employees of private railroads
This bill amends an existing Massachusetts law to explicitly include employees of private railroads that provide public services under the current legal protections for railroad workers. The change is a straightforward definition update that ensures these specific workers are covered by the same regulations previously applied to other railroad employees. By clarifying the scope of the law, the legislation aims to extend established rights and standards to a broader group of workers without introducing new policies.
