That seems outrageous after a global pandemic. It also looks what they are asking for isn’t a game breaker. Unless there is something being left out (a lot of other times people leave out crucial information so we can argue back and forth like some dummies) I just don’t get it.

Democrats get real shaky when it’s go time. I’m going to need them to start acting like they be talking when it’s not go time.

You know they won’t thoughMost these railworkers better be looking at who voted against this and re-evaluate their positions.

Don't forget these politicians are invested in these companies.
After some reading it appears the unions are playing hard ball by forcing the federal government into this situation. On September 15, the rail companies and unions reached a tentative agreement. Shortly after the largest of the unions dropped out and other unions followed. The initial tentative deal did have paid time off. I don't see any good guys in here unless someone can correct me.

And now you have propaganda around telling people that this is a good thing. The workers didn't get what they wanted because the politicians killed the possibility of a strike. Now companies don't have to give them anything.

how are people blaming this on the democrats when damn near every democrat voted for the sick leave and damn near every republican voted against it?

You missed the point where they had a tentative agreement and then backed out forcing the federal government to step in. It was a grimmy but effective chess move by the unions.

If the Democrats were really about the people....
Letting the workers strike would have got them what they wanted. But this wasn't about the workers. They forced the workers to accept whatever the companies give out now. It's going to come back around though. This is not the end.
They more than likely would have got a deal before the strike started.
