It should be noted that railroad employees have a Federal retirement fund separate from social security, with much better benefits. They are already practically government employees.

Adding to this...the monthly pension for a railway worker is $3,815 on average for a career guy. Probably double of what a social security monthly check is.

Yeah, it’s called RR Retirement Tier 2. The union worker pays 2x the social security rate, 15%, out of each paycheck. That’s why they are really striking. A 24% increase will set them equal to the non Tier 2 take home pay.
