If the government steps in, I expect them to make the point to bosses - "fix this. We aren't undermining labor and your company is of national import. Unfuck your shit, it's not our problem and it isn't theirs. Figure it out."
That's now how Biden works, at least in regards to the train strike. He prefers to hope he can convince the capitalists when there is no pressure and in secret. Somehow it seemed to actually work, though I'm pretty sure the workers didn't get a lot of what they wanted.
Tell that to East Palestine. Train derailments are on the rise because of lax safety measures, and this was one of the issues that the workers were trying to resolve. Instead Biden had congress force them back to work.
I vaguely recall he got some concessions. But agree it is a travesty and still extremely under regulated.
Just like when biden sided with the rail workers right??? Ooo wait.... he told them to get back to work or get arrested....
Biden got the rail workers what they asked for, this isn't quite right.

Sick days was only a part of what they wanted. Extremely disingenuous to make it out like all their demands were met. I think trump can get fucked, but to ignore the issues with dem leadership is to enable their poor behavior.
Can you provide me some more information about this? Because you made it sound like Biden was sitting in the Oval Office rubbing his hands together, waiting to tell these workers to get fucked, which IS disingenuous, when the OBEW themselves have issues this statement. I'm not a rail worker, they are, I'm going to listen to what they're telling me about their experience.
Unless that's you, you're an IBEW worker affected by this deal, I'm not gonna do a 'trust me bro' on this.
I stated facts. Ones that you can easily verify with an internet search. What you read into my words is not of my concern. While you sit there thinking I have ill intent towards biden, I don't. I voted for him and was prepared to again. It doesn't change what he did and turning a blind eye to someone's actions because of their party affiliation is why America is slipping in the wrong direction. Accountability for all.
