Bunch of fu----g sellouts!
If the unions actually gave a po-p. They would fight to end the railway labor act. Then workers have the say. But keep living the fairytale that team blue supports the unions and team red doesn’t. All a dog and pony show
I voted no to the suggested contract.
The country is always on the verge of a financial collapse.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Vote NO and feel blessed that you have a say in what you get when the majority don't.
VOTE NO!!!
Do you think the contract would've been better without them? No there wouldn't be a contract and more people would've been unemployed when the UP had their PSR fire sale. I've been through two strikes before and I can tell you that a strike would've had minimal or no benefits for everyone involved with it. The RR employees would've been ordered back to work within probably a few hours, with still no contract and probably given the RR's a better position to negotiate a weaker contract than what is currently proposed. I don't like the current proposed contract myself, but I didn't want to see a nationwide RR strike either. A nationwide strike would've added a huge amount to the inflation and higher cost of everything were paying now without without a strike.
VOTE NO!!!
Pay everyone more money or we strike.
$1K bonus???
You gotta do a LOT better than that, there should be some penalties for delaying a contract for year's.
$5K yearly bonus.
Cap on medical.
Cap on union dues.
Going to need at least a 30% bump in pay.
You cut the workforce by at least 30% and we've picked up the slack for 24% COMPOUNDED?
NO DEAL!!!
That would improve my "quality of life".
FYI this will be our best and final chance of a significant pay increase, the stars have aligned in our favor and it would be foolish not to take advantage of our position.
Stay safe
BREAKING NEWS
This just in- the unions don’t give a flying F about y’all- as long as them dues keep coming in they don’t care - y’all are just a paying member - but keep telling yourself the “unions didn’t have our back”. You expected something different?
The union didn’t cave. The railroads finally agreed to serious negotiations. A 24% pay increase is something they’d never have done if there wasn’t a serious threat of a strike. You had the president of the US intervening on your behalf. If it was up to Fritz and company you’d make minimum wage with zero benefits.
The country is on the verge of a financial collapse.
Keep paying Your dues and find a way to feel blessed that You are employed.
