The biggest Amtrak fan? Maybe he can stop fucking them over by refusing to enforce existing law to give right-of-way preference to passenger rail.
He doesn't seem to be a big fan of commercial rail either as the federal government stepped in to quash workers striking over lax safety shortly before that train derailed and dumped toxic waste all over a city in Ohio.
That's incorrect. The administration worked with that union to meet their demands after the initial pause of the strike. That part didn't get nearly as much news traffic as the first part though.
You seen the same non-rail union statement that everyone be posting. Demands were not met, a few unions got less than they planned to strike over. Others got nothing.
Hmmm who should I trust more: the statements released by the unions or some rando pushing a political agenda on the Internet?
No I know the exact statement you've seen, from the International Brotherhood of Electricians
You are incorrect. Most demands were not met.
No one walks out of any negotiation ever in any situation with everything they were asking for in the beginning. That's how it works.
It wasn't a negotiation though.
No one walks out of any negotiation ever in any situation with everything they were asking for in the beginning. That's normal.
