I retired from BNSF in June after 19 years, but I am still getting the emails. I just got off a Zoom meeting with my local union and it looks like the strike will happen. Both the BLET and SMRT will officially go on strike tomorrow night (or Friday morning, however you want to look at it) at 12:01 which is the earliest they legally can. The companies came out with an offer this afternoon that was laughable from what I was just told. Also, the machinists union, which had struck a tentative agreement, voted that agreement down today. Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
