Again the Federal Government will not allow a railroad strike to go on long if at all. It will have nothing to do with labor folding, and labor isn't folding that's why we're looking at a strike at 00:01 EST Friday. When would be a good time to strike in your opinion?

We didn't pick this time to strike, it is just when it is happening. Contract negotiations after 2+ years failed. A PEB was held, we went back to the table and negotiations failed again. Would it be better to strike five years from now, when the next contract negotiations fail?

I also don't know where you're getting your numbers. If you want to know exactly what we asked for at the PEB, what was offered by the railroads, and what the PEB recommend then click on the link. It's 125 pages and pretty dry.

PEB 250 Recommendations

Do you remember the uproar when Reagan just replaced the ATC strikers that would not come to work? That move turned every union into a slush fund for the Demrats. Do you really think Biden is going to stand up against the unions? Oddly twice Biden has supported the Railroads already. Be interesting to see if Biden supports the workers or the sold out union heads and the Railroads.
