“They” just want to hold it off until after the 8th of November. Then it will be “The Economy and The People be damned”.

Volvo in Southwest Virginia had the same problem. Management and the National Union made a deal and it was rejected by the local. This happened about 3 times before the deal was signed.

“Senate Democrats just blocked our bill that would have given railway workers a big raise” Today’s Wall Street Journal says the average railroad worker makes $100,000 per year.

That's not peanuts.

Started under Trump

Rails got bought by PE groups, and they did PE things.

So the rank and file are angry.

I am surprised several trains are operated with only one worker. Just seems like a lot can go wrong.

And what's the base salary on that? What part of it is forced OT that most of the workers really don't want?

You make a good point. Wall Street Journal gives us one number. There’s probably not the whole story. Is WSJ trying to give us a false impression?
