Looks like the average rail worker doesn't need to go to college and has an average total comp of $160k/yr, yet they're complaining about wanting more sick time.

Dude why do you insist on commenting on a labor dispute when you don’t even know what’s being disputed? If you Google “railway strike” the first result is literally a goddamned NPR article that states what the hold-up is, and it’s not compensation. Stop being a lazy troll and read.
 
this UC-UAW labor dispute isn't gonna get resolved anytime soon, either

UAW has almost all the leverage as finals rapidly approach

it's a good time to be in a labor union
 
I'm as right wing as they come, but the wage gap is something that isn't healthy at these levels. I think I saw something that said that the old high gap was 2-300 times average.

You also need to tax to pay for things.

Unions can be good like higher ed until it becomes just a shell game to keep growing the admin.

Business groups and the Association of American Railroads trade association praised the House vote to block the strike but urged senators to resist adding sick time to the deal.

Sometimes you just need to see who is on your side to realize that you're on the wrong side.
