    Thank you for posting this. I’m so tired of the rhetoric surrounding the rail strike.

      They didn’t allow them to strike. It doesn’t matter that they still helped the union negotiate. They kneecapped their bargaining power.

        Libs are just as deaf to criticism of their party as conservatives are.

        A successful rail strike would have emboldened the working class, whatever the administration did after doesn’t negate the damage they did to the current labor movement by stopping it.

      This union didn’t vote to strike. They were fine with the original agreement without sick days and didn’t have anything taken away in the congressional strike breaking.
