More money and more money....
Like that has ever solved problems in times of high inflation.

That's extortion, but sounds like it was a pre-arranged plan between the union and the ‘administration’ to try propping up Biden prior to the mid-terms.

Why is he announcing it? The industry came up with the plan. He makes it sound like he did it.

The price of votes continues to escalate. The kollege loan bailout was a mere $10,000 per vote. Now, just a few weeks later, rail union votes are going for $11,000.

Nat gas up 10% yesterday.
Thought is if no compromise power plants will move to nat gas and dump rail supplied coal. But Shitshow Joe will take this and play it praising the union. He avoids the strike and be the hero. Totally staged.

The new contracts provide 24% pay increases over 5 years from 2020 through 2024 and include immediate payouts averaging $11,000 upon ratification, according to the Association of American Railroads. 24%/5 = 4.8% annually.
Inflation was just reported as 8.3% Tuesday.
If it were my union, I'd vote against it.

This is all theater to bring Bribem’s poll numbers up.
I can see it now. Bribem saves the children from starving.

The Machinists’ union did not accept the contract and voted to strike, but they agreed to delay until Sept. 29. The other unions’ members need to vote.

At this point in time this is a good thing.
Given their latest plot to destroy the nation, wonder why they didn’t just let it happen?
To: FarCenter
They asked for 14%, but had to settle for 24%. Bummer
