    If the government can command workers back to work they can command the company take the union side contract. That is the problem. Not that he ended it but how it was ended. Lets end strikes like this by government enforcing the union demands.

      I agree that’s what should have happened. But if it was always on the union side it wouldn’t take long for the right wing to start dismantling those protections.

      Really if they’re instrumental to national security they shouldn’t be privatized either. But just like internet should be classified under the same utility regulations as electric et al, it’s not gonna happen in the existing state of affairs.

        This is goofy as fuck. It’s ok that Biden decided to force feed the rail workers a shit sandwich, because maybe next time the contract is up for renegotiation there will be a republican president who may force them to eat shit, so it’s in their best interest to learn to eat shit? What kind of batshit argument is that?

        Biden is a rat.

          That is goofy as fuck. Glad I didn’t make any such claim.
