I agree with everything you said. I am very pro union and definitely appreciate the power of the strike. I’ve done it more than a few times and will always honor another unions strike.
I’ve got lots of family members in the union.
what kinda pisses me off, having lots of family that are in the trades and that work for ATT, previously Pacbell, they get paid so much more than we do when all is said and done its fucking nuts and they are always in contract disputes. Just because when the utility unions strike people will immediately suffer.
not knowing what the overall union rail workers package is, from my experience, what congress did by stepping in worked out great. They should should take it as a win and use their collective bargaining power to get the paid sick leave next time.
