1952 steel strike. Truman nationalized the industry but the SC ruled he didn’t have the power to do so. AMTRAK is nationalized but not companies hauling freight; will the legislation passed by Congress affect them?
Anything positive Joe does is perceived as a threat to the mindless gop. Because they never “got nothing”! They’ll probably investigate this now! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
So the President who says he is a big union guy and a friend to labor and the working man…….just wants to totally ignore the desire of the union, its members, and their voices and then use the Congress to force a contract they don’t want down their throats…..
And most of the Dems and some of a Republicans support this.
I am not a huge fan of unions, but it is up to THEM to decide what they want for themselves whether he or you or I like it or not…….Worse yet, if it’s forced on them, they have to work with a contract they don’t want for 4 years before the new one is renogotiated.
If a Republican did this the left would be screaming bloody murder from the highest treetops.

I prefer the Canadian version: “Take the train, eh?”

At least the House added sick days to the contract.
