Treated like people? Are you kidding me? Railroad union overpays their labor and the associated regulation costs are unbelievable. The American people should not be bled for their greed. We do enough already. One would think union members would have learned by now that their greed and corrupt cooperation with the democrat party has cost over 50 million good jobs over the past couple decades. We will be replacing more and more of those jobs with high technology.
Consider, when I was a boy I remember watching a crew of about twenty men working on building a house. Now, you can build a house with a crew of maybe five...utilizing pneumatic nail guns, electrical saws, roofing guns, etc. etc. more production with a lot less labor. However, it did cut down on how many carpenters, roofers, masons, etc. are needed to build. Factories are the same...it’s destroying our nation with marxist ideas that have long been proven to be harmful to the people. Both the workers and the public. I hope you will reconsider your opinion.
Except you’re wrong. No sick time. It’s just silly. If these jobs are so important they should be treated well. That’s how you avoid this crap.
