I never knew there were that many Unions involved!
Attachment 92236
That may be but it is the Railway Labor Act of 1926 that allows Congress to settle disputes between unions and corporations. As Jayhawk stated.Quote:

And if all those efforts fail, then Congress can step in and impose a contract under which both sides will have to operate."
Again, it seem odd that Democrats would not give the unions as much as they could since unions contribute to Democrats almost exclusively. Makes one wonder about the lobbying might of the railroad companies.
How crappy is your union if you can't get sick days? FFS most of the non-union jobs I had offered sick days.
I generally think unions are outdated and I almost never take a sick day (go years between using them).
But this seems like just the thing unions are for. 0 sick days is BS.
Do Colorado laws not apply to the RR employees located here? Colorado mandates sick leave now.
The real question is. And one the media is ignoring is. Where da fuk is the Sec. Of Transportation? WHY is shim not being asked and or involved?
Maybe if they owned shares the attitude would different? Nothing like an incentive to keep the ball rolling.
Excellent observation. Like most Democrat politicians, hiding in the basement or on maternity leave again. He is being groomed to be one of your next glorious leaders. Maybe he can run with polesmoker for the ultimate ticket.Quote:
