Hilarious that Biden and his Dems managed to put the strike on pause until after elections. Also hilarious that this strike is brewing (about to break out fully) over poor management decisions on how the workers get sick leave and pay increases.

I say hilarious because if magically the Dems win their election, and magically the RR workers win on all the issues needed, then all that's happened is...the current batch of workers will work just a little bit longer before everything stops anyway.

This is due to the fact that no new hires are coming onto the railroads. With the setup as is, my understanding is that many workers are hoping for a back-paid, retroactively-applied raise to cover cost of living increases from the past 5 years or so...and then they'll quit.

Already one of the more grueling blue collar jobs out there. Already doesn't pay enough to live above poverty. Already told by management that workers efforts don't contribute to actual company earnings.

Time for America's labor force, the true heart and soul of the country, to tell every fucking rich person that it's hard work that makes this country great, not grifting, politicking, managing, entrepreneuring, investing, banking, etc.

Working.

And every worker should have a home to live in, and enough pay to take care of his needs, along with a little bit of pocket money. And sick leave and vacations around 6 weeks per year.
