Summary:
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, known to the public as Amtrak, is a quasi-public transportation service headquartered in Washington, D.C. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, Amtrak increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children and provides specific sexual orientation and gender identity-based benefits. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. Amtrak forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. Amtrak prioritizes diversity over merit in its busines structure, including its recruitment and supply chain. It does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees. For these reasons, Amtrak receives a Higher Risk rating.
