From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
It would bring a tear of joy to my eye if the rail workers gave the gubment a big, fat middle finger and walked off the job tomorrow or called in sick en masse.

No it's not. Ted Cruz has voted against union interests more than the average Senate republican. Don't let this singular event goldfish you. He is not a friend of labor.

Dude, why let facts get in the way of a perfectly good excuse to cherry pick and get an endorphin rush by feeling youre part of a cause?

You also have to look at what they are claiming is the scorecard. Voting against a bill that dissolves the need to have an ID to vote isn’t particularly labor-related as are most of the “against labor” votes. AFL-CIO is a hyper-partisan organization. Essentially they said that if a member of congress voted along party lines on just about anything, you were pro-labor as a democrat and against the working man as a republican.

This rapid action by Congress and a “labor friendly” President has exposed the RLA for what it is:
Kabuki theater, where the ultimate outcome is known by everyone one second after contract amendable date.

I’m not saying that’s going to happen. I think history has shown that, in the Government’s eyes, railroads aren’t allowed to strike but airlines are.
