Biden asks Congress to avert railroad strike.

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

LOL - it's not about comparing whether UPSers or railroaders have it worse. I'm sure you've heard, and probably even used, the term "oppression olympics"?

If you have no sympathy for fellow workers who are being screwed by highly profitable companies, then you're lost, brother.

Uh oh...

Especially feeder drivers!,

Whether you believe it or not, DickyDoo is a real medical condition, feeder drivers face on a daily basis you cannot understand that kind of pain. It’s tough when your belly sticks out further than your Dicky Doo.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

That POS is practically on his knees begging congress to enforce the proposal "as is".
Corporations are laughing at us (unions) knowing they have Biden in their pocket.
This could be us next year. Imagine being forced to work by congress after you have voted to strike.
FJB

Kind of like the Teamsters... (last contract)

It's worse trying to sit on the wallet with all that cash stacked!

Cash? Who has cash anymore? It’s probably a bunch of credit cards given them sciatica.

I have cash.

I have cash.

Yes, but you understand how that’s going to end up shortly.

@rickyb what say you? Let the workers strike or silence them?

 

[over9five]

So what happens if they strike after Brandon's congress tells them not to?
I'm guessing the union gets fined?
I'd walk, union is no good to us if we cant strike.

Exactly they should stick together and walk anyway what are they going to do replace them? With who?

Say the words instead of deleting my post. Say what POS means and what FJB means.

4. THWART LANGUAGE FILTERS. Using spaces between letters, strange characters or misspellings to get around the language filters to post filtered words is annoying. Your vocabulary is bigger than that. Curse words are not okay. We know you know what that mean

1st: I didnt delete your post.
2nd: How about you tell us how you feel about this? Are you even a UPS employee? Are you management or hourly? Do you think a private company's employees union should be stopped by congress from striking?

It’s not his fault you’re in capable of understanding acronyms although, since you’re a government bootlicker, you should be able to understand. Some of your favorites, FBI, NSA,CIA, ATF, DOJ, IRS should he need to say those as well?

 

[sailfish]

Then why aren’t people allowed to say b* or d*.

Probably used as a personal attack in whatever instance you're citing.

I'd kill myself.

I heard an interview with a yard foreman who said a lot of his co-workers are planning to quit or take an early retirement if it's forced on them like this. If that is the prevalent attitude, and widespread enough, the people trying to force this on the workers could end up with a de facto strike anyway. Worse, actually, because the workers won't come back from that.

I guess we'll see.

That is one of the most anti-American commie bs posts I've ever read. Must be a troll.

studying the structure , concept and relationship of unionism to communism would tell me otherwise.

I guess Brandon didn't learn the first time what happens when he decided to get involved in private companies' business.

 

[newfie]

looks like the democrat run house has the votes to pass the rail strike bill.
I'll await some of the dem posters here posting their latest trump bash as they ignore how their party is not supporting them.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

What's crazy is that Democrats don't have to do this. They can extend the negotiations. They can appoint a new mediator.

Democrats are choosing the worst option.

Republicans accuse Dems of ‘political stunt’ with attempt to add paid sick days to rail contract

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved Wednesday to add seven days of paid sick leave for railroad workers, against the wishes of President Biden, as Democrats sought to impose a labor agreement that would prevent a strike.
