This has all been just a game played by the unions and the Democratic political leadership in Washington.
Under Federal law, Congress has the authority to impose contract terms on the railroad industry after a strike vote. The strike date was set after Election Day so Congress can deal with it during the lame duck session instead of pissing off union members before the midterm elections.
If this is the case, what advantage is there to postpone the strike until after the Nov. 8 election? If the GOP takes control of Congress, you don't foresee the defeated lame ducks (Liz Cheney included) dropping a farewell bomb on the voters?
That maybe the law, but what would stop people from refusing to report to work.
Would Biden have the balls to fire a bunch of railroad workers like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers ??
If Biden did fire a bunch of railroad workers who could take their place in an emergency...
I’m not trying to say you’re wrong just throwing out bad scenarios of what could happen because with this group in charge, even really crazy ideas have a way of coming true.
“The strike date was set after Election Day so Congress can deal with it during the lame duck session instead of pissing off union members before the midterm elections.:
Then the Dims will not take the blame for the strike, it is all these mean Pubbies. In my opinion, expect strikes and violence after the election as the Dims throw temper tantrums. They will turn ANTIFA loose. Anyone notice how the ANTIFA violence stopped once the Dims were in control?
