Biden has already told them they can't strike twice. Sided with the RR instead of the Unions. Could be a really big deal. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Looming+railroad+strike&t=newext&ia=web

I talked with a trucker today while fueling up and he is hopeful that this won’t happen but feels that it’s a better than even chance that it will. However short lived it’ll be major pain.
Through conversation he mentioned that there are over 7 million over the road truckers moving America. If true, I had no idea that we have that many truckers on the roads.
Puts things in perspective to appreciate them.

Puts things in perspective to appreciate them. More like 3.6m as of 2020 and that number has been decreasing this year. Also - that's a count of "CDL" holders basically so a dump truck guy or straight truck guy is counted but not really OTR as most think of as a "trucker". 8 Unions Reach Tentative Deal with RRs

If the Union heads slither in with the company like they usually do I think this might get ugly.

This time, I'm with the railroad unions. Nobody I know on the railroad enjoys their job any more, I never see them anyway because they can't get any time off. The Wall Streeters are fixated on single person crews but I think that's completely nuts. Trains aren't like trucks and when things go wrong, if you're alone on the engine you're pretty much helpless. And since there's nobody on the property, well, help can be a long time and lots of miles away. RRs are running 15,000 ton trains, that's basically the equivalent of 500 trucks with 500 drivers. One person? What could go wrong? Even trucks have relief drivers and the CB for company. Not on the RR. And it gets better. The end game here is to have automatic trains with nobody on board at all. Completely robotized. I can imagine how that will go when the computer programs run up against the vicissitudes of an analog world.

Dave, that’s the jist of it. The RRs are making a play for one man crews by holding a knife to the unions neck over healthcare. Lots of employees will be retiring before the ink is dry on the contract. Warren Buffett owns BNSF and GEICO so you can see between the lines. It’s a long standing tradition that the railroad “barons” write their own rules and own their employees.

I’m not a union guy, by anyones measure. But I also support them in their most recent struggles with bnsf. Talked to some folks awhile back directly impacted and the specifics on it really blew my mind. They’re getting fûcked.
