President Joe Biden’s tentative railroad union deal fell apart on Monday after a freight rail workers union rejected it, raising fears of a looming strike.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the Teamsters rejected the deal on the grounds that management refused to offer paid time off to workers for sickness or family emergencies.
“Railroaders do not feel valued. They resent the fact that management holds no regard for their quality of life, illustrated by their stubborn reluctance to provide a higher quantity of paid time off, especially for sickness.”
Cardwell said the union would continue negotiating with the rail companies until five days after Congress reconvened on November 14.
Unions are past their prime-time!
Now they increase costs to employers and end-users while supporting country-destroying ideals!
Biden should do what Reagan did….
Union workers only need one 40 hr / week job to make ends meet, most have a retirement plan, health care, holidays off, safe working conditions, a grievance procedure, etc. What do you have 7:34, and 7:44 ? Probably a job that you actually produce nothing but a time card.
There ya have it union lovers. Let me know how this works out for you.
Biden has Ruined America all he can !!! Closing Pipelines, Fracking, Now screwing up Railroads too !!!!
Makes prices we Pay GO Further UP !!!!!
Biden stopped oil from being shipped through pipelines, so the other major way is by rail. Thanks for killing that, too, Brandon!
