But at this critical moment for our economy, in the holiday season, we cannot let our strongly held conviction for better outcomes for workers deny workers the benefits of the bargain they reached, and hurl this nation into a devastating rail freight shutdown.

Think of the TREATS!!!

I hope the unions see the leverage they can wield here.

The administration has been pushing off this strike since summer, now they’re going to hold the holidays hostage.

:grillman: Sorry Timmy, you don’t get a Christmas puppy this year because the big bad unions wanted two unpaid sick days
