As we celebrate Pride Month in June, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of our LGBTQ+ team members, while also recognizing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, including their fight for equal rights. BNSF's PRIDE+ business resource group has adopted Dallas Pride's theme of “Unity in the Community." PRIDE+ is hosting virtual events this month open to all BNSF team members, including: - An appearance by Sharon Herrera, the founder of LGBTQ Saves; - An educational session by Jamie Henkel, vice president of Learnings and Inclusion at PFLAG; - A panel of team members who will share their experiences as a member or ally of the LGBTQ+ community. To all of our team members who are members of the LGBTQ+ community, thank you for all you contribute to make BNSF the company it is today. Happy Pride Month! #diversityandinclusion #pridemonth
Stockholders deserve a leadership that can keep focus on running a safe and profitable railroad. Everyone is free to waive whatever flag they like, just do it on your own time. This has no place in an effective work environment.
I’m proud to work for BNSF, does that count?
