rail strike
imagine if the Rs sabotaged Congress and forced the rail strike to happen lmao
rail strike
Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) said Tuesday that he won't vote for a deal that has been rejected by some rail workers and said that executives and union leaders should return to the negotiating table.
"Just because Congress has the authority to impose a heavy-handed solution does not mean we should," he said. “It is wrong for the Bidern administration, which has failed to fight for workers, to ask Congress to impose a deal the workers themselves have rejected."
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said he would hold up a vote on the deal unless Senate leaders agree to first allovw lawmakers to vote on an amendment to include seven days of paid sick leave.
"A strike would be a terrible thing for the country, and certainly I don't want to see a strike, but I do want to see these workers get the paid sick leave," he said.
oh my god did a republican really take an ostensibly more militant stance than Bernie Sanders on this lmao
repeating my co-admin here but how about you just uhhhhhhh use your actual legal authority to force the railroads to accept the workers’ demands
