Railroad union votes to authorize strike that could hammer economy
Fox News ^ | 09/14/2022 | Breck Dumas

Posted on 09/14/2022 12:54:12 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

One of the unions representing rail workers said Wednesday that its members rejected a proposed deal with rail carriers and voted to move forward with a strike that could have severe consequences for the U.S. economy.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers issued a statement saying that roughly 4,900 of its members turned down the tentative agreement with the National Carriers' Conference Committee (NCCC) representing railroads, but noted that they would hold off on striking for at least a few weeks while other unions continue their talks.

I have this feeling at the last second a agreement will come to life and they will give pudding brain credit for saving the day. I could be wrong.

You could be, but you’re not.

Yep...it's all a hollywood production at this point.

If unions want money, they'll just off-load the fake ballots off the trailers(temporarily)...and fill them with cash for the blue-blood voters.

Pro-Union Joe is to blame. He can’t get his foot-soldiers in line.

He won’t ban the unions. He’ll just give them everything they want, like every other government union gets.

The union bosses will take care of themselves first, their democrat political Johns second and rank and file third if there are any crumbs left. When I was a Teamster we nearly went on strike. After having drained the coffers for democrat political bribes and payoffs strike pay was to be $46/week.

Crumbs to the serfs....what else is new.

Covid/gov. shutdown many businesses, permanently...but gave people a few hundred dollars in return...causing many to have to change their condom in appreciation of their gov. life-savers...while promising to vote accordingly.

Yes, they are laughing at us.

Everything senile Joe touches cripples America. From his failed Covid vax campaign, mandates, shutting down a prosperous economy, to his Ukie war, when will Americans wake up?

Fool us once, fool us twice…….

Isn’t the railroad system part of what Lil Pete is supposed to be in charge of? What an opportunity for Pete to show his leadership and have the two sides back into a deal.

So, let them strike ! ! ! (I’ve got toilet paper, thank you!!)

“The Biden administration was putting pressure on railroads and unions Wednesday to settle their differences and avert a strike. But just in case that doesn’t work, the administration was also working on a plan to use trucks and planes to move goods that are normally carried by freight railroads.

The White House is clearly worried that any disruption in supply chains just weeks before the November midterm elections could anger consumers, who are already facing the highest inflation in 40 years. That could hurt Democrats, who are trying to protect razor-thin control of the Senate and House.”

Harry Truman threatened to draft striking coal miners, nationalize coal mines and send the new draftees back to work in the mines. It ended the strike because miners believed he would do it.
