rail strike
Other Republican lawmakers said they didn’t support the additional leave. Sens. Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.) and Cynthia Lummis (R., Wyo.) said that while they support forced adoption of the agreement to prevent a strike, they “cannot support an agreement that goes beyond what was negotiated by all parties and what was agreed to by union leadership.”
the rank and file negotiated too!!!!!
oh my god fuck off, the point of socialists is not to interpurrate but to fucking change it

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
