Employee Terminated for Theft of Cleaning Supplies
An Amtrak on-board services supervisor based in Queens, New York, was terminated from employment on March 26, 2026, following his administrative hearing. Our investigation found that the former employee violated company policies by ordering unauthorized cleaning supplies from the company, such as a vacuum cleaner and large commercial-sized containers of cleaning products, and giving them to his girlfriend. While the former employee did not admit to these actions, his former girlfriend provided the stolen items and a text message exchange with the former employee that corroborated the theft. The former employee is not eligible for rehire.
