  • And? The point of strikes are to put pressure on the employers because they haven’t responded to workers demands. If they aren’t going to pay a wage worth the work or benefits like employees being able to spend time with their families or take sick leave, they aren’t entitled to the workers time, or labors.

    And the knock on effects like let’s say… not being able to get your groceries sucks for you in the here and now, the benefits of not having LITERAL TOXIC WASTE DUMPED ONTO SMALL TOWNS AND CATCH ON FUCKING FIRE because the railworkers aren’t well rested, or inspections/maintenance haven’t been being properly done kind outweighs you being able to get your bag of Doritos and two liter of Mountain Dew. Oh and it also adds more pressure to the rail companies to come back to the negotiating table.
