Tentative deal reached to avoid devistating rail strike!

in my 33 years on the PO we had arbitration it seemed like every contract....the president made comments like they are supposed to....but NONE of them sat at the table with the ones who worked out the contract.....jim is easily led.....
Fyi! :)

But his intervention – including calls with union leaders and bosses in the critical run-up to the deal on Wednesday night – helped lift the threat of a dispute that could have had serious consequences for the economy and still-roaring inflation after talks, led by his Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, lasted all through Wednesday and into the middle of the night on Thursday.

The agreement in principle was a validation of Biden’s support for unions, a politically significant factor given the movement’s role supporting Democrats in November’s midterm elections. But it also averted a prolonged shutdown of freight rail that could have hammered the economy and hurt the President and his party politically and exposed him to Republican criticism.

Biden hailed the tentative agreement as “a win for tens of thousands of rail workers who worked tirelessly through the pandemic.”

The key issue in the dispute was not pay but working conditions, which saw some freight rail engineers and conductors facing “on-call” schedules that could see them rostered to work at short notice, 24-hours-a-day and seven-days-a-week.

Dennis Pierce, president of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen who was in the talks, said the administration’s involvement in driving toward the tentative agreement delivered what the workers wanted on this issue.

“This is a historic agreement for the first time in recorded history we were able obtain an agreement that has negotiated attendance rules, something we’ve strived for. This is the quality of life issue that we have been trying to get for our members since the bargaining round started,” Pierce said, and like other union negotiators, paid tribute to Biden’s role.
 
Idiot...they were heading to a strike before the Buden administration made them sit down and talk. You lose again.

Too bad Biden wasn't President at the start of COVID. More lives would have been saved if there was a man in the WH who took the pandemic seriously.

Instead...we had a fool that told people to drink sanitizer and stick a light bulb up their rectum.

Yep, Biden is the union President. He campaigned on it, submitted legislation for it, signed legislation for it, spends his time at his noon meetings, and job facilities, unlike the twice impeached, twice popular vote by the people loser, that spends his time a whining rallies.

Another win for unions and the American people. Looks like the Magats are getting tired of all this winning.

im sure you believe that care....unless he was at that table,which he wasnt,then he was just like every other president,just made calls....but he wasnt responsible for what happened....
 
Oh....so you know all the details already. Lie Much?

No, I don't because they haven't released them and that lack of transparency is the problem. Nonetheless, you indicated that you had no problem with them doling out corporate welfare in this case if that's what's occurring.

You really want to see the economy ground to a halt...don't you. It is amazing how low MAGA can stoop.

America and Biden win....Another MAGA loss.
 
It was Biden's fault that this strike even threatened to bring America to its knees.

For Sleepy Joe to demand praise for this is beyond the pale crazy.

This is why the libs push America toward rails- instead of new highways, air transport and pipelines. Just a lot easier for them to bring the Hoi Polloi to submission.
Lol you are a retard! Hilarious
