This isn't true and there's no evidence.

I know I'm going to be downvoted to oblivion, but if any of you can give me any evidence, I'm willing to be proven wrong.

You're not wrong, but the unions have been pointing to a lot of problems in the railroad industry that may have led to this specific incident. Respecting union rights would be a half measure - really the issue is the major railroads are particularly awful at actually running a railroad (not just this incident, but the whole "precision scheduled railroading" implementation), and should probably be nationalized.
