125k planned to strike

>I don't think he realizes the people he's dealing with.
This. Never fuck with a railman.

Trucker supporting the railroad employees here.

Do it.
I won't cross a line to haul a container.

Ignore any Executive Order.
You aren't slaves.

Qrd? I don't pay attention to the world.

Solidarity forever. Enough of the bowing to the cooperations

They are this time. With the massive inflation corporate profits are way up (even before the inflation, really), and workers have been getting screwed. Their wages increasing will finally push wages up across the board, that's how shit worked before the union busting in the 1970s-2000s.

Why are they striking?

depends on thee union. but in general, I'd say this country would bee better off with more unions, rather than fewer.

Like at this point, if you had this kinda legit power, why wouldn't you fuck with richfags and their precious US government and economy? WTF are they gonna do about it?

YOU WILL REDEEM THE TRAINS MAN SIRS

wonder if this has anything to do with Hunter Biden being on Amtrak's board of directors

thanks, doc.

we will just replace them for cheap lol

danke doktor

Probably want more money for their meth and alcohol addictions. Union workers are scum bags and like to act high and mighty.

No one is talking about it because it would break the narrative of "unions bad, work harder goy".
Unions, so long they're not (((corrupted))), are extremely based.

why you mad tho? anything that fucks with the top rung is a good thing.

They better strike and bring this country to it's knees. I will be praying you guys do.

Realistically you guys cuck out and Biden can brag about how he prevented a strike and democrats will get a few extra points

TRAINS IS DIFFICULT JOB

>Freight railroads and the unions representing more than 100,000 rail workers have been negotiating a contract for several years. The stakes are high and a presidential emergency board appointed by President Biden recommended a compromise over the summer that would give workers a 24% increase in wages. Both sides — the unions and the railroad companies — have essentially agreed to the board's economic proposals.

>But there remains one major sticking point that could derail all of it: a workplace attendance policy that the unions call draconian.

> When they get called to work, they generally have either 90 minutes or two hours to report to work.

>Under Hi-Viz, if they are unavailable to report to work in that window, they are docked points from a starting balance of 30. Deductions range from 2 to 25 points, depending on the day. The more valuable the day, the higher the deduction.

>That means Fridays, Saturdays, holidays and so-called "high-impact days," including Mother's Day and Super Bowl Sunday, result in larger deductions. When their point balance falls to zero, they face a 10-day suspension.

>After that, their points are reset to 15. If their balance falls to zero again, it's a 20-day suspension. If there's a third time, the worker faces termination.

>There are several ways workers can earn back points, including by being available to work for 14 consecutive days.

Combine the truckers, farmers and railroad workers and you have yourself a national economic shutdown.

yea wow Holodomor. I'm sure THAT wasn't on their plans.
/sarcasm
Now do Civil War.
>is there anything Americans can argue about that one side wouldn't want to fight back for right now?
There planning on people fighting against each other, becuase they are causing it and they have that right - left mentality. That everyone believes teh election and not doing so is against "the establishment" or "tptb"
>From what I've heard, there still paid $25 dollars an hour and haven't had a raise in years, and they lost like 40% or something? of the workers during the plandemic and the ones left are working like 80 hours a week,

No contract for a few years now.
Want to reduce train crews down to one engineer and conductor.
Want to cut benefits.

Still made $BILLION$ in profits.

Fuck Buffet/Berkshire Hathaway/BNSF.

>I work for the largest privately held trucking company in the US. Mr. E actually gives a damn about employees.

Trains is hard job.

Raises, better working conditions, more hiring.

Supply chain fearmongering is the right's version of climate change fearmongering.

Everything in this country is corrupt. Start killing people immediately.

wrong.
wrong
You guys bitched out and they will for the same reasons. They'll be replaced and lose all benefits. Cost/risk isn't there. They just want a couple days vacation vs. government persecuting them. Nothing will happen and they will back down (like the truckers)

Leaf spewing nonsense again. They will have a deal by the end of the week. The conditions aren't enough to warrant a true rebellion.

It will happen because the Jews behind the Democrats will not pay a extra shekel to the union.

Good, death to America. Balkanize it all

Teamsters isnt some small union representing transportation employees. The amount of money they control and power they have is insane. But it all depends on those they represent, so they have no choice but to fight for the workers and not cave to the government.

They might have a deal but if they don't and Biden pulls his EO they're fucked.

Also fuck off faggot.

The unions protect the top and leach of the middle class.

>be me

>shills on Any Forums constantly screaming YWDS
>literally doesn't do a fucking thing about anything
>everything collapses before midterms
BEHOLD! MY POWER!!

Im not just saying most are scum bags. Hopefully theyll shut it down but in reality a couple will get beat up and hauled off to jail and theyll fold.

Realistically if they publish this story how can democrats possibly claim they support the working class? There is basically no job more blue collar than a railwayman.
And media outlets for the most part are entirely staffed with democrats, even Fox News.
The working poor are coming to realise they don't really have representation in government, the Republicans generally are the party of the middle class, and the Democrats are (now) the party of welfare and minorities.

Biden will send in the Pinkertons and rail company agents to break up the strikers.
