The official is being ordered to pay a portion of the punitive damages to the employee for his callous disregard of the employee’s rights."

"Because the railroad refused to agree to refrain from retaliating against the complainant, no settlement was reached."

"This action follows two previous orders issued by OSHA’s Seattle office to Union Pacific Railroad in 2010 and 2011, respectively, for retaliating against employees who had reported work-related injuries."
