    You realize that a rail strike would cripple the US, skyrocket inflation, and create shortages all over, right?

    Also that the unions overall didn’t want to strike, but if everyone in all but the smallest rail union voted not to strike and the smallest one voted to with the smallest majority they could they’d all be obligated to?

    By all means criticize as you feel it’s appropriate, but be informed about how you do.

      If the government can command workers back to work they can command the company take the union side contract. That is the problem. Not that he ended it but how it was ended. Lets end strikes like this by government enforcing the union demands.
