Strike
So much for all the nay-sayers who said that this administration would never let us go on strike. The massive backlash from their intervention against the rail workers has put this administration back on the sidelines where they belong. Good to see workers with the fortitude to strike.

Ummm, you do realize that UAW is NOT subject to the railway labor act and can pretty much do whatever they want? That has nothing whatsoever to do with the price of tea in china. Biden would have to call out the army to force those guys to stay on the job (not that it would be remotely legal)
Since we're referencing CNN...

I'd suggest you do some light reading on labor law and the RLA, it's not good for you or your shop to have such a gross misconception about how it all works for us.

That said, I support the UAW strike and hope they achieve their goals for their members. The battery manufacturer clause is the one I hope they don’t cave on.

I guess this is what a gang rape feels like. After the first couple posts, I bet he is inured to the ridicule.
Is it that rewarding to be the sloppy 8th post?
Although there is no parallel between RLA and UAW regarding strikes and the .gov, it all starts with the willingness to strike to achieve your objective. Why else take strike authorization votes if you are in a union.
At least the UAW workers put their money where their mouth is as opposed to RLA employees with a strike vote knowing that it will never cost them a paycheck.(recently, with too big to fail) because they know they won't be allowed to strike.
If nothing else, the UAW strike it shows management of all stripes, that strikes can happen and are usually costly to both sides. Many times, it's just lost revenue to the company and lost wages to the employee that will never be recouped.

If he had simply asked WHY they get to strike, somebody would have cheerfully answered the question. But instead he went off half-cocked.
Hopefully he's an isolated case.
Didn't argue with that part.
