General President Sean M. O’Brien noted that Marshall’s seat on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions has allowed him to act as a reliable partner on worker protection legislation. Locally, Mike Scribner, president of the Topeka-based chapter, emphasized that the senator has proven himself a necessary fighter for the membership. Marshall’s legislative record includes co-sponsorship of the Faster Labor Contracts Act, the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, and the Railway Safety Act. Beyond these measures, he has engaged in bipartisan oversight, including efforts to hold Amazon’s subcontractor model accountable and demands for heightened regulatory scrutiny regarding the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern.
