Except what doesn’t what? You provided data with no relevance to the conversation.

They are “on call” 24/7/365. ZERO DAYS OFF unless pre-approved Vacation. If you don’t get called, consider that your day off. The unions want 2 days off consecutive per week. They agree on the pay but want QOL. The railroads don’t want to have to hire thousands of employees to work the extra days off, costing them millions off their profit margins.

and their accommodations rules are insanely bad. Just the trashiest cheapest motels on earth.
and the new contract that some of the unions agreed to shifts more health insurance costs to the worker, negating their (sub-inflationary and years late) raises.

“All the tentative deals are based closely on the recommendations of a Presidential Emergency Board Joe Biden appointed this summer that called for 24% raises … in a five-year deal that’s retroactive to 2020.”

I wasn’t really trying to comment on their particular situation for the rail guys, specifically. Just trying to point out that the Emergency board floated a 24% raise. Might be a statistic of interest for those airlines that were considering mediation.
