Ted Cruz is a dumba** but i'm not going to go off of a "labor score" based on votes that have absolutely nothing to do with labor.

What does the nomination of Pete Buttigieg to Secretary or Transportation and the "voting rights" legislation have to do with supporting labor? It doesn't The AFL-CIO has unfortunately turned into another crazy liberal organization.

My brother is a BLE member and voted against the TA. His union passed it around 51/49. But they won’t cross picket lines so he was still going to strike. Who gives a ^#%^ if you virtue signaled 99 percent of the time. When the rubber hit the road the D’s sold
out the working man. Yes I know the Rs are worse so spare me your strawmen. The bolded statement is still true.

I'd really like to read the bill's language. What's the penalty for striking? The confines of the RLA are met and completed. This is a separate issue.

No one isn't arguing that

Up to late digging but here it is. https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/h...hjres100eh.pdf

I often wonder if there is a Rail Workers Central Forum where they go on an on and on about the progress of airline pilot contracts... but I digress.

"The first thing a dictator does is abolish the free press. Next he abolishes the right of labor to go on strike. Strikes have been labor’s weapon of progress in the century of our industrial civilization. Where the strike has been abolished … labor is reduced to a state of medieval peonage, the standard of living lowered, the nation falls to subsistence level."

Franklin D. Roosevelt. President of the United States. Not a fan. Like this quote though. What is the RLA, other than a legal way to eliminate "self help"?

(Plenty more from other actually labor friendly "D" labor presidents OF THE PAST to quote though. Bedtime for bonzo. Wish the rail workers well though.)

This. I remember many times over the years that one party claims the other is against (insert pet project outrage of the month here). And why they were really railing against was provisions that had nothing to do with what that outrage was about. But it’s all a narrative.

Personally I whole heartedly believe the government should stay the f*%k out of it. It’s way past what the government was designed for by the founding fathers, and the RLA is a big time screw you to workers.

I’m not holding my breath. Most politicians are bought and paid for by big companies. Remember the quote from Aladdin, “Whoever has the gold makes the rules”

So you don’t support the rail workers?

he also voted to give them their sick leave, one of the few Rs to do so.

on this issue he voted exactly in line with the unions.
