Oh I don't think Biden or the Democrats really care if they strike, they just don't want it to happen before the election. I think they will call up their Union buddies and convince them to kick the can down the road about a month.
Biden’s union buddies are union presidents and office staff, not the working guys on the road for weeks at a time. The working stiffs don’t send big checks to the DNC. It’s the bosses that do. And the Dims want chaos in America, but ‘elections’ come first.
Note that a large number of railroad employees are over age 50, as the jobs are too dangerous for males age 18-39, due to the increased risk (84% higher for the injected) chance of dying of cardiovascular disease. Real statistics, real-world challenges.
