Today's legislature just follows House cues...
When did the Senate vote on this? Biden just sent it yesterday.
Here is the clause that they will vote on:
4 (a) IN GENERAL.—Consistent with the purposes of
5 the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) to avoid
6 any labor dispute that threatens substantially to interrupt
7 interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive any
8 section of the country of essential transportation service,
9 the most recent tentative agreements, side letters, and
10 local carrier agreements entered into by the covered par-
11 ties that have not been ratified before the date of enact-
12 ment of this joint resolution (including tentative agree-
13 ments, side letters, and local carrier agreements that have
14 failed ratification) shall be binding on such covered parties
15 to such unresolved disputes, and shall have the same effect
16 as though arrived at by agreement of such covered parties
17 under the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.).
The next clause says, in essence, the parties are free to come to their own agreement(s).
So, this is the government shoving the terms of the contract onto the unions who did not agree to it.
I was alive during the ATC strike and I remember what Reagan did. But, the railroads are not federal employees. I guess AMTRAK Joe could do what Truman did. This will be fun to watch.
Honestly, the part of this that I like is that Warren Buffet will lose a ton of money if there is a strike. The Dems won’t let THAT happen.
(Keep your gas tank filled.)
I think I may be referring to the wrong bill, let me check.............
Yep, it was the Fag Marriage Act............
