A recent spate of polling paints a bad picture of declining support for the president from voters of color. But just how worrisome is it?

If the execs won’t give labor what they’re due, labor is within their rights to take them by the short hairs for as long as it takes. Beyond that, they didn’t get the paid sick leave that was on the demands, and they have to burn their own leave time for sick days. You know, half the fucking reason they struck in the first place that isn’t the ATROCIOUSLY dilapidated state of our nation’s rails, and lack of proper safety inspections that will lead to more catastrophic derailings. One fucking extra day, wooo. Some victory.
But y’know, you get your freight on time so I guess that’s a victory for you, huh? And honestly, fuck your conciliatory figureheads. You want me to take you serious, show me what the actual rank-and-file are saying.
Uh… You should stay up to date on these things if you’re gonna talk about them.
That’s just for electrical rail workers, isn’t it?
Is it? AFAIK it’s for all of them.
You linked to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, this agreement is for their members specifically.
So the best one I found was this, which is from back when the negotiations were still in progress but mostly done, but my understanding is that in the end the unions who it says are still negotiating got similar outcomes.
I guess only somewhere between 1/3-2/3 of workers are human and deserve sick days. The rest are animals. Or maybe robots, to be replaced when they fail from being overworked.
An injury to one is an injury to all. Fuck this.
It does say the rest are (or were, at the time) work in progress. See: The IBEW, which were still negotiating at the time of writing this article but got their sick days when the other one was written.
If they were able to strike the work in progress would already be done.
