Remeber that thing that just happend, no not the derailment. The thing that the president signed, to stop a strike that was because of how absolutely horrid the rail companies are to work for? Hard pass.

Your just regurgitating headline news. Do you even read the news articles to understand what’s actually happening? the railroad unions have always historically abused the impact of a national strike to get obscene benefits that drive up costs for everyone and presidents have signed laws 18 times in a hundred years to stop them from striking. The main issue is railroads run cross country and it is not conducive to people calling out sick on short notice due to the logistical issues that causes.

I get that without strong unions or labor laws employees are abused but unions go to far sometimes and have too much power. I’d rather there were no unions bc so many union members don’t know how good they have it and vote for Republican politicians that screw the rest of us. The best union is a union that advocates for every last worker getting decent benefits but so many unions today are full of blue collar conservative losers that will keep voting for republicans until the day their union is abolished and they make a pikachu face because they are in shock that the republicans they voted for actually despise them.
