    The issue isn’t whether or not they ended up getting it, the issue is that the government will forcibly end strikes that are too dangerous to the economy. Yknow, the entire point of strikes.

    Luckily, it worked out this time. What needs to happen is the removal of the government’s power to end rail strikes in the first place.

        Yes, we were lucky that Biden was actually advocating for them. That’s what the lucky comment was about.

        What happens if the next time is under a GOP government? The power to do this shouldn’t exist in the first place.

      Like I said, “literally the same as hitler because he intervened to prevent supply chain chaos right before it would have done nothing for rail workers but get everyone unimaginably upset with them.”
