Amtrak Executives Sacrifice Bonuses to Reward Frontline Workers
Following government pressure, Amtrak's executive leadership agreed to forfeit half of their bonus package, enabling the company to distribute $900 holiday bonuses to its unionized workforce.
Amtrak is distributing $900 holiday bonuses to over 18,000 unionized workers after executives agreed to surrender half of their own bonuses. The Department of Transportation facilitated this agreement, which also includes eliminating long-term incentive bonuses for senior management. Approximately 246 managers gave up bonuses totaling $16.2 million.
This decision reflects Amtrak's strong performance, which included a record 34.5 million customer trips and $2.7 billion in ticket revenue. Transportation officials praised the company's leadership for prioritizing frontline workers during the holiday season.
