Executive Summary : In a case of first impression with far-reaching implications for the railroad industry, the Third Circuit has held that the provision of the Federal Railroad Safety Act prohibiting discipline of employees for "following orders or a treatment plan of a treating physician" does not protect employees who were injured while off-duty. Only absences triggered by injuries that were incurred while on-duty are covered by FRSA's anti-retaliation provision.
