I wonder if they voted on amendment 2613
Don't think it made it. Per Grok
Research suggests the Senate passed the bill without including railroad workers in the "no tax on overtime" provision.
There is some uncertainty, as the exact amendment number (2613) was not voted on, but related efforts were not successful.
BackgroundThe amendment in question, introduced by Senator Maria Cantwell, aimed to include railroad workers in a "no tax on overtime" provision within a larger bill, likely the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBB). This provision would exempt overtime earnings from taxation, benefiting many workers, but initially excluded railroad workers.Legislative OutcomeOn July 1, 2025, the Senate passed the bill, but evidence leans toward the amendment not being included. Reports indicate that while there was significant advocacy for including railroad workers, the specific amendment was not considered during the debate, and the final bill did not extend the tax break to them.ConclusionGiven the available information, it appears the amendment did not make it into the bill today, though efforts are ongoing to address this in future legislation.
Jake- it seems like that'd hurt your industry and not help the owners at all.
If you work 60hr 20hr not being taxed it a helluva raise.
The owners of RR wouldn't care if their employees or govt got the money so it doesn't seem like that would be the issue.why would they want to main tain taxes on RR workers?
