Yes. Every single worker in this country should have it. That cost should be passed on to consumers and or come out of profits. I agree.
My point is there’s allot of us other union heads that don’t have it. And I fucking guarantee you we work allot harder than most of them. Just because they can put a gun to the economy’s head shouldn’t make their cause better than anybody else’s.
Would it be nice if they got it during normal negotiations yeah! Of course.

I’m not hating. I think it should be a federal mandate for all.
Agree. Not just because it's a humane thing to do. People coming to work while sick spread disease and aren't at their best when working. They stay sick longer which makes them less productive. The US is in the dark ages when it comes to social policy.

Regarding the rail workers demands. They aren't wrong to threaten to strike if their demands aren't met. I have no issues with what they did.

I agree with everything you said. I am very pro union and definitely appreciate the power of the strike. I’ve done it more than a few times and will always honor another unions strike.

I’ve got lots of family members in the union.
what kinda pisses me off, having lots of family that are in the trades and that work for ATT, previously Pacbell, they get paid so much more than we do when all is said and done its fucking nuts and they are always in contract disputes. Just because when the utility unions strike people will immediately suffer.
not knowing what the overall union rail workers package is, from my experience, what congress did by stepping in worked out great. They should should take it as a win and use their collective bargaining power to get the paid sick leave next time.

They have a right to strike, everyone does. You can't force someone to labor against their will, they can just say no and sit down and not push the button. No clue if it's warranted in this particular case.

Same as if you really really want to look at hunter bidens weiner, I think that's your right.Screenshot_20221204_090021.jpgScreenshot_20221204-090319_Reddit.jpg
