Railroad strike a couple weeks away....as it stands.

After shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline and issuing 30-some regulations to halt domestic energy production, Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia, hat in hand, to beg the Arab sheiks to pump more oil for him.

Result? They laughed him out of the park. .

Sacajaweau :" Railroad strike a couple weeks away....as it stands."

Tentative date for railroad strike is November 19th,
unless Congress intervenes.
The two largest railroad unions has been the bottleneck.

I don't recall precisely, but I believe that the unions have been operating without a contract
for the last three years.
Some of the sticking points have been a staffing shortage,
and use of sick time (especially during the covid concerns).

Just now I went to check on how the railroad strike scheduled for November is developing. The proposed strike has been moved to early December.
