ATLANTA – The Norfolk Southern board of directors is investigating allegations that CEO Alan Shaw had an inappropriate workplace relationship, CNBC reported today, citing three unnamed people said to be familiar with the matter.

The investigation is in its early stages, the network reported, and it is possible that no misconduct may be uncovered.

Norfolk Southern did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

Shaw, who became chief executive in 2022, maintained the backing of the NS board despite the disastrous hazardous materials derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, in 2023, as well as during its battle with activist investor Ancora Holdings this year.

  1. I was thinking that very same thing after I read the article. SMH 🙄
    However, I hope that it doesn’t turn out to be true….

  2. This is the kind of bs Ancora Holdings and their chosen boy toys will put out there to oust management that doesn’t kill the employees to deliver an unsustainable OR and dividend payment. You let Ancora Holdings take over the employees can kiss the pension good bye and any kind of career longevity.
