Where was that reported cause I saw the opposite. :jbhmm:

Four rail unions have aligned on a potential national strike date of Dec. 9, with the Signalmen’s union agreeing to move back its date in coordination with other unions that rejected the labor deal.

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.

STOP SPEAKING ON shyt
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

THERES 12 DIFFERENT UNIONS GOOFY.
THEY WAS NEVER A A UNANIMOUS
AGREEMENT ON THE CONTRACT.

SOME SIGNED AND SOME DIDNT.

THE ONES THAT DIDNT AGREE
DIDNT SIGN DUE TO THE FACT
THAT WERE NO PAID SICK DAYS
WHICH YOU CLAIMED WERE IN
THE AGREEMENT.
(It was 1 extra personal leave day btw)

THAT TENTATIVE AGREEMENT
CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE NOT THE RAILROADS...

THE GOVERNMENT HAD ALREADY
STEPPED IN.
:devil:
:evil:

Imagine shytting on unions when they are the reason you have a 40-hour work week, why your children aren’t working, amongst countless other things…people died for the right to better work conditions you better respect that :ufdup:
Real spit

Alot of cities police force main job wasn't to fight crime...it was to kick ass of anyone who tried to strike...

They would get dirty and send the Mafia in as well to crack heads.

Striking was very dangerous ..



Though the Mafia learned too take advantage and would force strikes sometimes :mjgrin:

shyt would've been bad quickly.

Would've given ceos a reason to jack prices up double.

People would've panicked and shytnlike bread and toilet paper would've run out

(Why does bread which perish quick always sell out in a panic? :mjlol: )


Basically unless you got a deep freezer with some choice cuts frozen and a stock of some canned goods shyt would've gone south.

We already don't have enough truck drivers as is...especially long haul.

Companies would've jacked the price on virtually everything in the store under the guise of railroad strike too :mjpls:

Breh....calm down and stop getting your panties wet. :ufdup: I didn't say or imply that it was only one union. Still I do have to thank you because with your comment I realized I posted the wrong article. This is where I got on September 15th the rail companies and unions reached a tentative agreement although tentative can be a subjective term. Now if you are a union guy with inside info different than the article so be it.
