Former STB Chairman Martin Oberman says the @UnionPacific-@nscorp application falls short of the board's own rules. The railroads "offer only their judgment, not hard facts, and not a single example of a failed partnership." #StopTheRailMerger

Under the guise of connecting America’s railroads more efficiently, the proposed UP-NS merger will squeeze out competition, destabilize the supply chain, and raise costs for consumers. America deserves better.

ACD supports the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn tariffs imposed under IEEPA.
These tariffs created uncertainty and cost burdens for chemical distributors—many small businesses—disrupting the flow of essential products that support Americans’ health, safety, and economic growth.

Ocean carriers must be held accountable for excessive surcharges imposed on U.S. shippers, even after the recent port strike ended. ACD calls on the FMC to investigate these charges to ensure they aren’t used to unfairly profit at the expense of shippers. Read more below.

The @FMC_gov denies a petition to delay implementation of their D&D rulemaking. As the Commission wisely points out this has already been in effect for 6 months. Flipping a switch to make it no longer effective then later making re-effective would be counterproductive! #Shipping
Well done @FMC_gov -- joc.com/article/fmc-denies-p…

Everyday the Senate fails to pass bipartisan #CFATS reauthorization, it is putting chemical facilities & our communities at unnecessary risk. A 2-year reauthorization passed the House by a 409-1 vote. It’s time for @SenateDems & @SenateGOP to act!
@ACD_chem and @AmChemistry joined officials from @DHSgov to underscore the value of the CFATS program. Read more: brnw.ch/21wMMt1

American consumers and businesses depend on our ports to move critical chemical products. A strike at top U.S. ports would add burdens to an already strained supply chain. ACD urges ILA and USMX to conduct good faith negotiations to prevent a labor strike.
