Every craft has their own union. Signal men, Carmen, MOW, conductors, engineers, dispatchers, telecomm, etc. So they cant break the "railroad" union, but they are trying to do away with certain crafts by replacing them with newer tech. The conductor position especially they have been trying to get rid of. It will be years down the road until they can eliminate the position though. There are just to many variables to run one man crews any time soon.
