Why exactly can they vote to prevent strikes? The whole point of a strike is to fuck over everyone in order to upset the business. You don't need permission to do that.

Also, holy shit at the paid sick days. That's bleak.

Re-read the article. It's about accepting a bill that would indirectly prevent the strike from happening if I understand correctly.

It seems the railroad companies + the gov are invoking a 1920s law that allows the gov't to force mediation, ie legally force the unions to do whatever they want.

In America only right? I have heard Europeans say she is center right by even their standards.

if "left" means "pro-worker", there are definitely no people like that in ~~the capitalist party~~ either of the two relevant parties, by design

I would say that distinction between left and right is the distinction between socialism and capitalism, really it's the only tangible line to grab.

In true performative liberal fashion, I've gotten a ton of heat from woke liberals calling this shit out. Because according to MSM, preventing the strike was actually a "good thing."

What was their rebuttal or reasoning?

Most of their twitters went silent on the issue, but I'm sure it'll be the standard "this starts a conversation", "it brings everyone to the table" nonsense like she did when she backed Isntreal.

edit: I hate twitter. Another AOC link went down the memory hole due to a banned account.

I remember this, it's like they turned the AI for empty platitudes up to max and it started glitching.
