(From the News article):" Host Maria Bartiromo asked, “The president tried to act as if he had some kind of a tentative deal before the midterm elections,
but we now know that four of the unions have rejected a deal which gave them, by the way, a 24% raise, but only one paid sick day.
Senator, what is the likelihood that we have a rail strike right in the middle of the holidays?”
Hagerty responded, “I think it’s highly likely, Maria. I mean, you hit the nail on the head.
The union bosses basically forced their union members to buck up and accept this deal just to get them through the…midterm elections.
But now we’re seeing the reality of it.
They only offered one additional work day — one additional sick day, I should say.
The unions were asking for 15. (Emphasis mine)
That’s a big, big gap.
Joe Biden declared victory, again, before the midterm elections.
This was all, I think, part of the plan.
But what we’re seeing now, the whole thing is coming unraveled and it’s going to be a real crisis,.. “
“The strike will last no more than 24 hours.”
Correct—this will be a huge non-story.
Except that from what I have heard/read chemical cars carrying flammables will need to be brought in to safe areas prior to strike...Things like diesel, etc.
So that may cause some hiccups...
