Because Congress has been workin’ on the railroad all the live-long day.
I wonder how many sick days people have saved up?...
"Union Joe", the Basement Potato, backstabs his union buddies.
Not like there are thousands of railroad trained employees just sitting around waiting to be hired.
Also, there will be extreme blowback from this.
“I’m the most pro union President in history.”
Sold out the unions
Has anyone ever said Joe Biden was “Pro-Union” or “Pro-labor” besides Joe himself?
8 of the 12 unions endorsed the extremely generous deal. 4 cried, and are trying to kill the golden goose.
Pinkos give in.
Thankfully I’m in a decent union. We know our worth and so does the company I work for. No one gets out of hand.
Probably not a good idea to pass both actions at the same time - what’s to prevent the rail workers taking their 7 days of sick leave now?
What about Joe’s victory lap celebrating his solving the labor dispute? Walking back meets jogging back?
totally awesome to see Democrats union-busting whenever it’s expedient ...
Not even a verbal blue flag...
From last month...
“...The deal also places new caps on workers’ health care costs, unions said....”
We need to see the fine print of this so-called deal.
They should give congress the finger. This “law” is BS and is to be ignored if presented as a “justification” for them to comply.
There is NO WAY taxpayers should EVER subsidize Union Contracts......including those of "Government Employees", who produce NOTHING.
I don’t think this emergency law can be enforced against those who refuse to go to work. Will they put them all in federal prison?
30% of the nation’s freight shouldn’t be tied to federal funding
Seven paid sick days will only make the problem worse.
A very close family friend works at a rail yard. The shifts are scheduled for 12 hours. I say scheduled because he is usually forced to stay later. Imagine the night shift from 7pm to 7am getting extended to 10am.
Then after 4 scheduled days off...I say scheduled because he is usually forced to come in and work at least one of those days on the day shift or night shift....he shifts to the day schedule and the cycle repeats.
No wonder the old guys retire early and the young guys quit after a few months.
Paid sick time, which I support, will only force more mandatory overtime. It doesn’t sound like a fun job, though he does get to drive the choo-choo train.
EC
They can’t get ‘The Blue Flu’ as when cops go on strike.
Wonder what the Unionistas will call their next stunt in the hopper? ;)
Leave it to Joey to FIU....this ain’t over folks.
