Does anyone here on the forum work for Amtrak, if you are comfortable saying so?
There are current Amtrak employees who are AU members, but they may not be willing to identify themselves.
I agree, employees have gotten into big trouble for their Social Media Posts @ many jobs.A few do, however, which surprises me.

Out of curiosity, when traveling on Amtrak and talking with the crew members do any of you mention (promote) the Amtrak Unlimited website?
Actually that isn't true. Employees have been disciplined about statements made on social media (primarily Facebook).I guess that doesn’t apply to Amtrak employees and social media. I have half a dozen on my Facebook friends list and most are active. One of them told me they cannot do anything on their phones at work, however, except if it’s work related.
I worked for Amtrak in the past, for 15 years, among several other transportation companies over a 49 year period.
AU didn't exist, when I worked there, but if it did, I would have been careful about posting.
When I worked for American Airlines, we were warned, and reminded (and even had to do periodic online 'confidentiality lessons' on SABRE), about not disclosing Company internal information...
And that is probably true of any company sensitive about their intellectual property and public image...And I'm sure AA and the airlines closely monitor the vlogs and blogs by their crews who are posting them as well.
At the high tech large companies that I worked for the consequence of posting proprietary info on social media was summary dismissal, consisting of being walked out the door by a company security person. At one company no time was given even to pick up your stuff from the office. That was boxed by the company and shipped out to the fired employee later.
So in short, you just did not do it if you valued your job and salary.
Amtrak has generally been way more lax than that. Parts of Amtrak still leak like the sieve.
