Tax payers have no seat at the table on this Rubio.

What are the workers actually asking for ?

[Theoria]

'Congress has the authority to impose a heavy-handed solution '

They do?

[Irenic]

LOL

As I keep saying, “Just because Congress passes a bill does not mean railroad workers will obey Congress and go to work.”

You can’t replace 115,000 skilled railroad workers from the local “labor pool.”

Trains are actually easy to automate.
Give the guys what they want for now and then
automate them out of work.
People are a pain in the ass as workers.
Many years as a project Engineer taught me this.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, Marrrrr-coooooooo, trains also go in and out of Florida.

How about you let the rail companies negotiate with the rail workers and CONGRESS stay out of it

[oil_dude]

Joe already agreed to a 25% pay increase. But they still don’t like the terms.

The Railworkers in question are big Labor unionists.

Biden is Big Labor personified. The Congress will vote as they are directed by their money providing union bosses

[Vermont Lt]

Why are Republicans touching this with a ten foot pole?

[VanShuyten]

I think Rubio’s tactic of backing the “workers” against the union bosses, owners and the Dims is very creative, and should be pushed by all Republicans.

It won’t work, but “optics” count.

This exact issue, three generations back, is what made my Grandmother a broken glass republican. Roosevelt was hammering the rail unions and Republican congress said it was unfair for FDR to fight only on behalf of the Railroads. My little Granny hated the her husband lost his railroad job during the turmoil and for the last 86 years my family has voted Republican.

My grandmother was 4'11 and like Little Abner's mom in temperament but good looking.
