Biden looks to Congress to force deal on railroad workers

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Honestly good on Biden. I’m all for some civil disobedience, I think it is needed in any society but when there is an innocent third party involved like the businesses that would be affected by huge economic fallout from this, you follow the process And you don’t threaten strikes that would deprive millions of their livelihoods.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Disappointing from Biden, I guess we’ll just have to see if this ends up actually happening. Hopefully there isn’t support in Congress to force a bad deal.

When the stake is the the global economy and many ppls livelihoods, it’s not disappointing.

For those wondering here’s what’s in the deal

“The deal provides a historic 24% pay raise for rail workers. It provides improved health care benefits. And it provides the ability of operating craft workers to take unscheduled leave for medical needs.”

I’d say this is a pretty good deal!
