METAIRIE, LA, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Poolson Oden Law Firm co-founders Daniel J. “Danny” Poolson, Jr. and Carisa Oden attended and spoke at the 2026 Houston Rail Labor Solidarity Rally on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at SPJST Lodge #88 in Houston, Texas.
The firm thanks Robert Maldonado, Secretary & Treasurer of SMART Transportation Division (SMART-TD) Local 1892, for the invitation. The rally brought together hundreds of railroaders and their families from across the country, including a strong contingent from the Gulf South, along with SMART-TD President Jeremy Ferguson and other union leaders. The afternoon offered solidarity, Texas barbecue, door prizes and fellowship among railroad crafts.
Poolson Oden has attended and sponsored this annual event for several years and is grateful for the chance to spend time with the many railroaders and families who travel to Houston each year. The firm thanks everyone who stopped by its booth, attended its presentation and shared its free mobile app, Poolson Oden: Your Legal Guide. The app is a one-stop resource for railroaders, with PI reports, a checklist of what to do after an on-duty injury, and guidance on recognizing and responding to retaliation. It is available as a free download on Android via Google Play and on iPhone via the App Store.
“Events like this are why we do what we do,” said Danny Poolson, co-founder of Poolson Oden Law Firm. “Railroaders and their families give us their trust, and being in Houston with so many hard-working railroaders, many from right here in the Gulf South, is one of our favorite events of the year. Thank you to Robert Maldonado and Local 1892 for having us again, and to President Ferguson and every member and family member who took the time to spend the afternoon with us at the rally.”
