    If the like 75 thousand rail workers going on strike will end up making life worse for 350 million people, most of which are workers, isn’t it more pro worker to be on the side of the 350 million?

      Vulgar utilitarianism is a one of the worst workers philosophies in the world. Almost as stagnant as stoicism.

        It isn't even utilitarian in a grand sense. This is purely a short-sighted consumerist perspective. Grinding these workers down isn't good for the long term health of rail transit. Delaying labor action another month won't do anything to defuse the conflict between rail workers and management. What's more, nothing in this legislation actually forces workers back to the job. All you're doing is cocking a gun and pointing at a contract.

        While it is exceptionally vulgar, there is nothing utilitarian about management doing divide-and-conquer shit until the workforce is worn down to a nub.

      Listen, we live in a Utopia. You're talking about one little child trapped in a room in Omelas and we all know why that kid needs to be there. Are you really just going to walk away from all this?
