Railway Strike Seen as Increasingly Inevitable, Threatens to Derail Economy Ahead of Holidays
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/2022 | Nick Gilbertson

A national freight rail strike is viewed as increasingly inevitable as four rail worker labor unions have rejected a tentative agreement with rail companies.

In September, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh brokered a tentative deal between rail unions and rail carriers while President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were out of town. Union concerns centered around sick time and scheduling, and Walsh’s work appeared to have avoided a strike that had the potential for far-reaching consequences on the American economy. However, the deal has fallen to pieces, and the clock is ticking as a December 9 strike looms.

If only we had a cabinet position just for problems related to transportation. Oh, wait!
Never mind. Transp. Sec. Butt is still very busy lecturing about the killings at that drag bar down south.

Those who voted for Brandon need to stop whining. This is what they voted for, remember?

I read a lot of material around 1980 to that affect. One was a transcription of a Bilderburger Group meeting. I tried to alert people to that heinous plan, but was always disregarded as a kook. That plan is entering its final stages now, and I am sure there is nothing that can be done about it at this point in time.

A good old fashioned Strike would do wonders for the American Consumer! The American Voter needs to feel real pain and suffering.

This can’t be true. Biden said he resolved the problem a couple of months ago. The media deemed that “true” and praised him for his problem-solving skills. No word on Buttigegg’s thoughts on the matter at the time. It was all due to Biden and his amazing political skills. Therefore, the railroad workers cannot actually strike. Maybe they will do something such as refuse to go to work, but there will be no such thing as a strike.

I suspect social media sites will add “clarification” and “context” to any such posting indicating that the railroad workers will strike.

Democrats are enslaved by the unions just as the union members are by their leaders and the Democrats.

Biden couldn’t say a solution is right if it went against the union leaders who shovel millions of dollars and free advertising to the Dems.

Henry Miller said of slavery that the slave owner isn’t living the perfect life; he has to feed and house the slaves, and keep them from getting sick and dying or he loses his money paid for them. But he also has to constantly watch for a murderer among them or for an escape or a revolt. So he can’t really rest.

The official media fact checkers will come along to inform us there is no rail strike. The railway is just metal and cement and inanimate and can’t strike.

Congress can impose an agreement. It seems they have the votes to give the workers what they want. Not sure why this hasn’t happened yet now that the election is over.

I was dismayed to the news reader on the two minute radio Fox News gushingly and cheeringly say the stock market was up the past couple of days. Depressed me.

I want the American people to visibly suffer. They refused to save America, voted Dem, allowed vote fraud uncomplainingly and are total morons.

I do not willingly accept slipping quietly into Chinese style Communism in this country.

Americans have to suffer or they will complacently let us be pushed into semis bound for the re-education centers. Screw them.

Down with the stock market and the economy.
