Passenger Trains > There will be no strikeDate: 12/01/22 12:46 There will be no strike Author: lordsigma They came to a deal to vote today. Bernie’s sick leave amendment was voted down. Vote isn’t done yet but over 69 have voted yes so far. There won’t be a strike.

Pelosi passed the sick leave as a separate resolution to avoid any back and forth - the base deal was a standalone resolution. The Senate essentially consented to the standalone resolution for the deal only as sent by the house so it’s going straight to Biden. This is the end. Edited 1 time(s).

I'm not at all concerned I'll only have 14-15 hours at home or the fact I'm penilized for taking a day off sick when I have no set schedule or days off. Can't wait to go in a hole for a hour tonight for Amtrak if it's on time.

Question I would be asking myself right now is: "Who really has your back?" https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/01/senate-votes-to-impose-rail-contract-rejects-measure-granting-workers-7-paid-sick-days/ Date: 12/01/22 22:56 Re: There will be no strike Author: TAW PC1974 Wrote:

However, they keep asking us for money so we think we are participating. TAW Date: 12/02/22 04:19 Re: There will be no strike Author: lordsigma Pacific5th Wrote:

And there were a few senators that weren't there to vote or didn't vote - if they all had it probably would have brought it to just 5 short. I hope those angry about this will take note of who voted yes and who voted no for the 7 days and remember it the next election. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1172/vote_117_2_00371.htm Edited 1 time(s).

I was taught as a kid to vote for the person not the party, that contradicted what my union wanted me to do.. Not sure it would fix anything, but it might create checks and balances??? I think things have changed, and finding a fit and honest candidate in any party is going to be a challenge.

So let's correct your comments. Expect for some LTL stuff on semi trailers on flat cars, there is no x-mas "rush" 3 weeks out from the 25th. It's already been moved by train and on shelves... And it is over, signed into law by Brandon this morning. OUT |
