    The fact is the deal Biden got provided huge raises and benefits. Much of what they wanted they got. They missed sick leave, however, Biden promised he would work to provide it. It may be with a national sick leave policy. Biden did not turn his back on them. The Repugs have always been mooning unions and union workers. Dems are the best friends that have.

    He is obviously incapable of thinking beyond what he is told to think.

    If those railroad workers wanted to strike, nothing could stop them from striking outside of themselves.

    No they don't. If they wanted to strike, nothing could stop them from striking but themselves.

    That doesn't stop them from striking.

    An election can't be won (or lost) if it isn't held.

    It's all irrelevant bullshit because if you change the name from Biden to trump what do you imagine the donkey dick sucking leftists would be saying? Don't engage these morons.

    Yeah, looks like a real tough deal to swallow: “negotiated by rail unions and the administration that would raise workers' pay by 24% over a five-year period from 2020 through 2024, including an immediate payout on average of $11,000 upon ratification”

    And as far as sick time, it ain’t entirely as portrayed (https://www.aar.org/wp-content/uploa...Fact-Sheet.pdf)

    Engaging morons can be fun. They have small minds. Play with it.
