Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, September 19, 2025, the “No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act” was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives with bipartisan support. If passed, the bill will extend tax exemption on overtime earnings to those American workers whose employment is covered by the Railway Labor Act (RLA). That includes approximately 800,000 workers in the Railroad and Aviation industries, including most members of the American Train Dispatchers Association (ATDA).
While ATDA applauds the bipartisan effort in drafting the bill, more work is required to secure its passage. ATDA members are encouraged to contact their Congressional Representatives to voice support for this bill, and to demand justice for America’s RLA workers. The new bill is spearheaded by Congresswoman Malliotakis (NY-11) and is cosponsored by Representatives Sykes (OH-13), LaLota (NY-1), Horsford (NV-4), Fitzpatrick (PA-8) and Suozzi (NY-3).
