I'm going to vote to make my voice heard! :blob-no-thoughts:
I can't let you do that, Jack :biden-troll:
Rail workers: "we're going on strike!"
:biden-point: : "Striking is illegal now, buddy!"
arrests striking rail workers
:biden-troll: "look at all this new prison labor, with which to run the rails!"
rail workers now wear orange jumpsuits, make $0.30 an hour, everything is Back To Normal
I saw a man on the tracks oit in the middle of nowhere and had to stop.
Love to put billions of dollars in capital in the hands of a single slave laborer in suicidal living conditions.

Rail workers still refuse to work. :shocked-pikachu:
Fuck the contracts, workers don't need permission from Capitalists and their lackeys to go on strike. Shut it all fucking down
Wildcat is the only way in this scenario, due to Taft-Hartley.
Wildcat is cool tho they should definitely do that if and when the bosses fail to meet their demands.
:sabo:

Education workers in Ontario just did this when the provincial government imposed a contract during negotiations and legislated that they couldn't strike, making sure to push the big nuclear button that also says you can't take this to court violation of your charter rights. Wildcat strike on Friday, talk of a general strike develops over the weekend, gov backs down by Monday.
Just ranted about this for class. Needed to use a recent news story and tie it back to history of my area, went with labor and was like "huh weird that the AG could literally arrest tailors for striking during the war of 1812 and make them pay fines, and today the owner class literally can decide that strikers cannot strike cause it will hurt their profits, things sure havent changed"
The labor Relations Board by its nature is anti-labor. It is vile and the enemy of workers movements
If any rail unions were to go on strike all the rail unions – which together represent about 110,000 members – would honor their picket lines and refuse to work, bringing the nation’s freight railroads to a grinding halt. That would be a body blow to the US economy, snarling still-struggling supply chains and triggering widespread bottlenecks and shortages.

Seems it's time to mass post this to all the rail union social media subs. Seems congress needs to realize why we have unions...
Wait, this is still going on? Does this mean the news about Biden brokering a deal between the railroads and the unions was bullshit?
I believe his brokering was just proposing something and the union would then take to membership. And they, correctly, didn't accept it.
But I might be getting my bargaining stuff confused don't quote me.
Was there a deal? As I understand it, I thought they drew up a contract proposal that was in line with what the PEB recommended and the individual unions are voting it down.
The PEB put out their recommendations, the union members voted it down. At the last minute before a strike could be authorized, the union leadership sat down with the PEB again and formed a "tentative agreement" which was the same shit contract plus like one extra sick day and some limits on how much the price of the health plan could go up. They did this deliberately to prevent a strike by forcing the union membership to vote all over again on what was essentially the same contract.
At this rate, it's looking like the union leaders will bear the responsiblity for delaying a strike until the Republicans can take congress and force the shit contract with legislation.
Lol, why fight with the bosses when you can fight with union leadership, instead. We're gonna need a deeper mine.
There sure are a lot of abandoned, uncharted mine shafts out west.
You're not the first to tell me this. Also, what is this emoji referring to?
I know that. I've been using the meme without knowing where it came from.
the railroads put together a Real Bargain™️, which the Collective has rejected. Under the terms of The Deal of the Century Act of 1919, this is illegal and now they all have to go to work or jail due to the precedent set by Money v. Humans where it was determined that Money has full protection of the law, but Humans are evil and bad and communist.
the labor secretary needs to have a 1 on 1 meeting with the wall secretary
