Why would unions crap all over a “union man”???
One Union has already rejected the so-called settlement. The non-political industry press is saying - too close to call, but likely will fail with the rank and file. Just too much built up animosity against the management types.
Hope you have your pantry stocked and the bicycle tuned up....
Naturally. It’s a very well established FACT that anything that Biden touches turns to fecal matter in record time.
I don’t have much faith in the White House or the Unions but it is imperative that a rail strike is averted.

Senate Democrats just blocked our bill that would have given railway workers a big raise and prevented a crippling strike and supply chain crisis.
If a strike occurs and paralyzes food, fertilizer, and energy shipments nationwide, it will be because Democrats blocked this bill”.
Whatever you do Joe, don’t send Kamala to fix it!
She is a rabblerousing divider, not a unifier.
I think sometimes Ms Harris forgets her job description.
She is no longer just another Socialist Babe marching arm in arm down University Ave. in Berkeley. Ca. protesting Trader Joe’s hiring process.
The Bidung touch...ALL F’D UP!
A good friend of mine is a railroad worker who is in one of these workers
In his shop the consensus is Fuck Joe Biden, of course they have a few whackanoodles who think Joe Biden is the best thing since sliced bread but they are an extreme minority.
However union leadership in DC are 100% dumbocRats and don’t want a strike because it would ruin the midterms more for the rats. So the leadership is pushing for a yes vote on this contract.
However when the contract was up during the Trump administration, the same leadership was pushing for strike because the leadership wanted to make Trump look bad. However, nobody wanted a strike
The union has been preparing for the strike since June
Having been insulted, obstructed, spit on and sabotaged by the UAW for 15 years I’m no union lover, but Christ on a crutch, was management expecting one man alone to operate those trains? OSHA would have been throwing a conniption fit if I’d tried that in a auto plant!
The union and the government have top people on this.
Top. People.
Some are even LBGT + infinity.
What? They ain’t going along with ole Union Joe?
The agreement would mandate two-person crews, cap health care costs and allow workers to take time off for medical appointments
or other scheduled events without being penalized, all key concessions won by unions.
The deal also provides 24 percent raises over five years, back pay and cash bonuses,
similar terms to those offered by the White House-appointed presidential emergency board (PEB) last month."
(My Comment) : Thusfar, only 5 smaller unions have agreed to the contract.
The current contractual deal is awaiting a vote.
The entire Big Labor/Biden gambit is a total charade.
Both wanted favorable press to promote voter turnout.
If Democrats and especially enslaved Black democrats don’t turn out in November, the cause is lost
Where’s Buttplug? Isn’t this his job?
DUH!!
What doesn't?
Why settle for hamburger when you can get steak....
“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.
Exactly. He solved nothing.
