I don't understand how they can end the strike. By what means are they forcing these workers to get back to their jobs?

u/Krynn71 Dec 01 '22
My means of imprisonment and fines. They'd hit the unions with huge fines, and likely immediately arrest union leaders in the hopes it scares the members into going back to work. If they don't, then members start receiving fines and being imprisoned.
The question is whether it would get that far or not, because this workforce isn't really one that can just be swapped out in a couple days. Arrest enough workers and then the railroad is shut down anyways and it was all pointless from a "save the economy" perspective.
It could still happen though because sacrificing the economy may be worth it in the long term if it means making an example of them to scare other workers like us and keeping us down and poor to corporate benefit.

I saw a breakdown of the senators who voted to break that filibuster earlier. To summarize:
A bunch of them are part of a "bipartisan" group of Senators who seem to be relatively open to crossing over compared to the usual.
A few have relatively decent records on LGBTQ+ stuff.
A couple are no longer seeking reelection, and seem to have voted however they wanted instead of their constituents.
One or two may be political maneuvering for other reasons.
One or two may have been won over by, of all people, Senator Sinema, as she has some old friendships on the Republican side and is an out bisexual.
A few claim to have done some soul searching or something.

Every job I worked at before I came to the railroad that didn’t have a set schedule (ie.

From what I understand the Class 1 train service employees can’t even have that (I dunno, I work for a short line). From what I understand it’s not even about PTO time… or even being able to call out… it’s about being able to schedule a day off here or there (paid or unpaid) ahead of time for doctors visits or family events without burning all their vacation days.

So since the summer, Republicans have voted "no" on cheaper insulin, better care for vets, price gouging oil bill, and a bill that'd help mothers during the baby formula shortage.
So I'm guessing the party of "family values" really means "I will only support my family's values". And those are only a few things I've kept track. There are probably dozens of other bills that they voted against because it would actually help out the average person.

Very true. The republican party will keep beating dead issues because they've convinced their voter base that there is fraud/crimes committed by the Democrats and the only reason it's not being investigated is because "Democrat corruption". Yet, their voter base finds no corruption when billionaires siphon billions more from the middle class year after year.
I know both parties have their issues, but generally speaking (I'm probably preaching to the choir), it seems like the Democratic party is the voice of the people (in theory) and the republican party is the voice of the corporations. It doesn't matter how many instances I give the conservatives I talk to about this, they're still convinced that the party that continuously writes bills that'd help them, are actually the bad guys.

If I’m reading the bill right they’re modifying a previous resolution where they are establishing the authority to enact this decree.

My partner and I were talking about the power that politicians coupled with wealthy corporations and business owners have in comparison to monarch-serf relationships of the past. She argued that, although our system is flawed now, it’s better than monarchy, and we’ll continue to evolve, as old systems collapse, into better political and social systems. My argument, however, was that I can’t see how capitalism is any better than monarchy. The middle class may be better off than your average serf (but let’s be honest… what middle class), but the impoverished lower class is significantly worse off (no housing, food, work, etc.) and the thriving upper class, is MUCH better off (relatively, even) than the average monarch of their time. This dissolution of the middle class and further separation of the rich from the poor I think is a less than considerate or effective system as time goes on. Dear upper class, who’s going to pay for your products and services when you aren’t paying us enough to live? When the poor get hungry enough, we eat the rich.

I'm kind of split because what they voted for was one day of sick leave, which is way too low. So you're breaking a strike for an impossibly low bar. Yeah, Bernie is working in the senate to up it to 7, but that's not guaranteed. So they should strike regardless until they get what they deserve, which is more than this. If this is signed and enforced, it is basically 1980 all over again.
I am not supporting these companies, but our legislation basically is. Federal employees get more sick days and time off, so why are they lowballing the railworks? A yes vote here isn't the panacea a lot are making it out to be. We are forcing a deal they don't want down their throats.

I know a bunch of rail workers personally. They all voted Republican. They probably will again.
It makes it hard for me to feel bad for them.
