No business, none can make it without the workers. Respect.

railroads should be funded more than airlines .

The railroad workers I know and see everyday says it's not enough

[ismaelibrahem]

I am surprised that Biden has not made a deal about the Baby Formula.

[danielhixson]

It's not over yet... Never under estimate Joe's capacity to f.. a deal up.

God forbid $100 hrs not enough for the railroad workers while trucker get paid 100 times less. Yet truckers move 60 percent of trades and goods and trains only move 40 percent. Times to shut trucks down.

Who would have thought? The guy that loves trains spent money on trains. Wow.

Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust.
You get it, then they move it, so you never keeping up enough.

So in a democracy what good is union representation if government can ultimately nullify the workers wishes. So much for democratic ideals.

[motosotarc]

Potato Head Joe has absolutely nothing to do with this whole situation whatsoever

[billyskyline]

A win for the rail workers a loss for the tax payers

[morecringe]

It is not place for the government to get into this issue.

Seems that Amtrak was counting on the strike. 24% increase in wages over the next 5 years.

Oh look Mr. Blue collar union champion is nowhere to be found
