Boston, MA – The Boston Carmen’s Union released the following statement on today’s Red Line incident:

“We are extremely grateful that there were no serious injuries in today’s accident to either the employees we represent or the riding public, which we serve.”

“Safety has always been the top priority of the Carmen’s Union. Creating extra precautions and having a second employee, such as a train attendant of guard, assigned to these trains could have avoided this incident.”

“We are cooperating with the ongoing investigation of this incident and look forward to working with the MBTA to put in place measures to ensure nothing like this happens again.”
