    Signing the law that took away their right to strike made them worthless. They took away the bargaining chip and then on the backend turned this into a shady negotiation deal as a placation tactic, or another way to put it, damage control.

    This gets posted because there should be no such thing as “too big to fail”. Yes, a rail strike would’ve crippled the economy, but the solidarity should’ve been there regardless. It’s shit like this that set the stage for a slippery slope to armed conflict, is that the next step?

    Lawmakers take away our right to strike so that materials delivery can be forced? I disagree completely that Biden was pro-Union when at the end of the day he signed the bill that fucked the rail workers.
