Sean O'Brien's role in the railroad deal

[Wally]

Sean is still new, he’s doing a very good job so far I will not judge him only on the railroad contract because it is quite complicated.

What's so hard? Is he with Biden/Pelosi or is he with the Union members that rejected the proposal?

I read something yesterday, he was applauding congress.

I'm sorry, but he should chime in one way or another., especially with our own agreement about to expire. Saying nothing is a weasel move.

You know those east coast boys don't like trains!

Weasel. Is it all about sick days Sean?

I really don't like that he wants congress to (basically) do his job.

We shouldn't let the government into our business.

Wow that's quite a spin in what's happening.

Column: Greedy railroads are to blame for rail strike threat. Why should Congress help them?

The rail strike is looming because the railroads are refusing to give their workers paid sick days, even though they are swimming in profits. Congress should let workers use their leverage.

He should have told Biden to stand down let them strike for a week so they feel like they’ve accomplished something then send’em back to work

Say something at least. Tell us why these union members are wrong? Get out of the Biden bunker

Seems like grandstanding to me. Instead of putting the sick days in the bill to avert the strike, they kept it separate. That way they could claim the moral victory and blame senate republicans when they inevitably vote it down, but approve the other resolution imposing the contract.

It's a way of distraction from the fact that they want to side against the unions.

In which case, Sean O himself is siding against the unions.

Good article. Hunter Harrison's PSR sounds eerily similar to Carol Tome's "better not bigger" drivel.

Why America’s Railroads Refuse to Give Their Workers Paid Leave

Wall Street’s new robber barons can’t make the trains run on time.

We can only imagine the strings attached to this federal pension bail out... 87.1 Billion.

For the Union and the Company...

What we don’t know about that deal...

Yeah- too bad the union is not good at managing anything. Oh well..
