Amtrak Officials Counseled for Inappropriate Use of Company Email

Two senior-level employees in Washington, D.C., were counseled about misuse of company email as a result of an OIG investigation. The investigation found that the employees violated company policy by inappropriately using company e-mail to make political statements and to sending politically biased content to each other and to co-workers. The employees were counseled that personal political opinions should be kept separate and should not be associated with their Amtrak employment.
