Warren, Sanders criticize Amtrak's arbitration policy for passengers

Fourteen Senate Democrats, including four presidential candidates, criticized Amtrak's new arbitration policy for passengers in a letter to the CEO of the federally subsidized railroad.

The change, which was first reported by POLITICO, was implemented in January.

The lawmakers wrote that the policy, which prevents passengers from suing Amtrak for anything from discrimination and ticket disputes to injury or wrongful death, is "gravely imperiling traveling Americans' access to justice and public accountability."

The letter, sent Tuesday, also criticizes the broad scope of the agreement, as well as its prohibition on class-action lawsuits, and refers to several recent accidents involving Amtrak.
