The Democrats colluded with the union to forestall the strike until after the midterms. Isn’t this an in-kind contribution that is governed by the FEC?

It is not illegal when Democrats do it.

After all, remember 2016 when PAC minions boasting before cameras of their personal knowledge of illegal collusion between Clinton, the DNC and different PACs and nothing happened to anyone?

Meanwhile, the genius long-term planners we pay gazillions in taxes for?

Tore up railways all over the place to make bike paths.

Millions of people voted Dem. They deserve to suffer.
If the union wants something Biden is under obligation to bow to them although the union bosses are taken for granted every election and members can’t stop the allocation of union dues for Dem donations.

Far back on “the caboose of the train” are the good people (us).

Unintentionally by him, Bob Dylan’s Only A Pawn In Their Game (1964) and out of context.....

For the politician’s gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool

I imagine that they will give the Railway workers whatever they want.

We’re not human, we’re ‘consumers’.

This could be good for the American Consumer, so far they have not had real pain yet, maybe they will now?

Are we to believe that rail workers have absolutely no paid sick leave? Seems unlikely. Any rail workers on this board to confirm or deny?

“the already-suffering railway network.” The suits have been downgrading the railroads for decades now. Ripped up too much track and canned too many workers.

Has anyone talked about Paul Hilal, his hedge fund Mantle Ridge, Hunter Harrison & his squad, and all the executives and union bosses that sat by, made money on their stock purchases and didn’t say sh*t as Harrison’s “efficiency model” took hold?

Nope. I didn’t think so

All of this can be traced back to early 2017 when Hílal and Harrison got control of CSX.

And, as usual, the little guy is gonna lay the bill

[saying that he told the nation that he had a plan in place well before the midterm elections.]

Joe lies. Constantly.

Only idiots believe anything he says.

And yes, idiots vote.

Why wouldn’t provisions of the Railway Labor Act come into play, where a strike can be prohibited while mediation, etc takes place?
