They trusted Joe?????? LMAO!!
They keep voting for Democrats so this is no surprise. The iron and pipe fitting unions learned that lesson in 2021 after endorsing “The Big Guy”. They endorsed Biden and it burned by closure of the Keystone Pipeline, great going you idiots.
My father a locomotive engineer predicted eventually the entire rail operation system would be automated. The only people involved would be a few computer types at control centers. He predicted this back in the 1970’s.
And they voted the Dems back in charge and then are “surprised” when the dems vote AGAINST THEM.
Dems only needed your vote. Now they hate you again. 2024 same thing.
Bkmk
Carry the manual. “Work to rule”
Gee ain’t that a shame?
Did they think the slave masters and the plantation bosses of the demonrat party actually gives a damn about them??
From what I understand, they were offered more pay and bonuses but the sticking point was they wanted 7 days paid sick. Does anyone know how much and type of time off they get now? Are they getting a bunch of “personal” days and want more sick days added on top. Do they just want some “no excuse” sick days? I find it hard to believe they aren’t getting any vac/sick time in a union.
Given the author’s description of how miserable railroad work is, I imagine the employers find it difficult to fill these jobs. Is that correct?
I don’t understand the lack of Paid sick days. They have lots of “Personal” days. Swap the two.
The only problem is a personal day has to be requested and a sick day doesn’t. I guess the “company” doesn’t want to give that power to an employee and they have created a system where it is very expensive when a guy calls in sick.
From what I understand they treat their employees like shit, in fact they don’t even get a decent place to shit in the cab of the Locomotive.
Solution is to automate the system, run it the military does drones, and have instant response teams for “black Swan” events.
Lots cheaper than dealing with people and country wide Blackmail.
Aloha.
nameless, faceless fund managers of Wall Street.
As is the norm, these are the folks causing all the problems, kicking back and laughing as everyone else points fingers and blame at each other. And they just collect the checks and won’t be asked to answer any questions.
After he boned the pipeline workers.
