Dissecting Failed Rail Labor Talks

A discussion of the railroad issues involved in the strike talks including friction between the two biggest rail unions with their officers competing to maintain members and union dues revenue. For members, their working conditions are the most significant complaint of train and engine workers.

Still more evidence that labor unions (and specifically “collective bargaining”) should be subject to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, just like the rest of us.

I doubt there is anyone in the private sector with better deals already than railway workers. This strike ought to be a great help to Buttigieg’s non-solution to the supply chain constipation, what with ships waiting to unload at all ports now, and truck drivers being run out of California by the thousands.

Build Back Better. Right.

Consider this: How much crude oil is being shipped by BNSF to refineries? A BNSF strike should add to gas prices.
