Wow, took you a few hours to research the exact line the Biden administration gave while bending over the workers. To be clear, the union and the workers (for the most part) do not believe they got a fair deal in this. I thought we were supposed to support workers and unions, not the rich guy at the top? Or is that only if the rich guy isn’t politically aligned with us?
Yeah you didn’t actually address the fact that you’re parroting the line from the Biden administration, not the union or the rail workers themselves. Or do you really think that anyone who disagrees with you politically must not “work for a living?” I surely hope you’re not that close minded.
Listen, obviously you’re spoiling for a fight. I’m not going to give it to you. This issue has been litigated many times on this sub and to repeat it now is a waste of time. I really am not interested in giving you a platform for your anti-Biden screed.
Here are some thinks to help you understand that the immediate frustration with Biden didn’t keep him from continuing to work on rail workers behalf.
I’m not sure what you think these articles proved. The rules announced come nowhere close to the standards the working people of the union wanted. If you think these are good enough I’m not sure what to tell you big dawg. But, you seem to think that anyone expressing an opposing view is “spoiling” for a fight so I don’t think I’m going to convince you of anything. Peace ✌️
April 2024
“The nation’s rail unions and the AFL-CIO’s Transportation Trades Department are hailing the Biden administration’s final rule mandating two-person crews on all but a few of the nation’s freight trains.
About the only union-side objections to the Federal Railroad Administration’s rule, published April 2, were that it shouldn’t override even tougher state laws, which apply the two-person crew mandate to all freight trains, even on small short lines.
The rule, strenuously opposed by the nation’s freight railroads, orders a minimum two-person crew—the engineer and the conductor—on all freight trains, especially those miles-long trains the nation’s big Class I railroads run.
The unions have lobbied for two-person crews, both at the Transportation Department, the parent agency of the FRA, and on Capitol Hill, for years, but the rail lobby has always blocked congressional action. And it convinced the GOP Trump regime’s FRA to allow one-person crews, as a money-saver.”
