One Employee Terminated, Another Resigned for Improper Acceptance of Gifts

An Amtrak Trainmaster was terminated from his position on August 14, 2018, and an Amtrak executive resigned from his position in lieu of termination on August 17, 2018. The Chicago-based employees violated company policy by accepting gifts from the owner of a firm doing business with Amtrak and by intentionally providing false or misleading information to the Amtrak Office of Inspector General.
