Only a productive workforce with a commitment to excellence will allow us to remain a low cost producer. Then, as a viable company, we have the flexibility to lower prices to retain or increase market share, or to increase prices to enhance margins and improve profitability. Safety and productivity complement one another. Our company is committed to supporting employees' efforts in order to operate our railroad free of accidents and injuries. Given that level of commitment and support, employees are expected to accept the responsibility for their safety and the safety of their co-workers.
Management style is the key to developing and maintaining productive employees.
