I worked at the railroad for 28 years....never once did the employees get to vote to strike or not its up to the union officials.
The few times we did strike ir never lasted over a day before the US President ordered us back to work....no way they'll let the rail roads strike because it would shut the country down.
I saw trains go from trains with 4 crew members and a caboose to a 2 man crews with an engineer and a conductor with a telemetry devise on the rear and hot box detectors every so many miles. Trains could be controlled from satilites if they didn't cross public crossings.
One man trains would be too dangerous....mainly because of the hours we worked.
