      The stupidity of that decision still amazes me to this day. “Railroad safety and efficacy during the shipping crisis? No! Let the monopolistic railroads regulate themselves, fuck their workers!”

        Canada’s gov’t just did the same thing last week. I swear to god if any one of them sends out Labour Day emails or tweets they’ll be roasted within an inch of their political lives.

        I guess I meant fully backed? I’m referring to the thing Biden didn’t do when he had the chance, to prove how pro-union he is.

            Thing that he didn’t do was fully back the union in the way that I meant. No schedule changes, no predictability, no sick days. No alarm at what is apparently a nationally vital resource being run poorly by people whose sole motivation is shareholder profits.

            The concessions they got were paltry in comparison and it’s honestly fucking shameful that we treat people this way.
