@BobbyMilly27964@JakeSherman If you understood rail industry, you'd know we need crews to deal with a whole manner of items both operationally and safety-wise...
Also, 2 person crews is current practice - so this won't raise ANY costs at all. Repeating AAR talking points doesn't make them correct.
@nicolegelinas It’s actually the opposite of feather bedding. In unionized industries with good health and pension benefits, it’s often cheaper to pay a lot of overtime than hire new employees.
@sam_d_1995@chris_rissland Incorrect. The mediators were the same folks that Biden appointed. Literally same exact people. They concluded 4.5% in 4th year is the best compromise. Unions wanted 6% initially - so they’ve come quite a bit down from their offer.
QUITE the flip-flop from the @wapo editorial board!
2023: "Congress should pass the Rail Safety Act"
2026: "Congress should NOT pass the Rail Safety Act"
Literally same exact bill.
Wonder what changed? 🤔 [cough] Bezos [cough]

THE UNITED STATES USED TO BE ONE OF THE LEADING INNOVATORS OF RAILWAY SYSTEMS BUT THE PROFIT OF CAR COMPANIES WON OVER THE LOWER MARGINS OF TRAIN TRAVEL. HIGH SPEED RAIL CAN FIX THIS. WE CAN CHOO CHOO AGAIN. AMERICA, LET THE CABOOSE LOOSE

@lukerosiak Not scandal plagued, and $2b is a BIG round up from $1.5b.
In general, if news outlets are inflating numbers and using baiting headlines, maybe ignore them.
.@WSJ can you make a subscription tier where I only get your news articles, but don’t have to pay money to the fascist nutjobs on your editorial board? I seriously think there’s a market for this… please and thank you.
My REEF Act will ensure that our railroaders receive the benefits they’ve earned.
Today marks a victory for our nation’s railroad workers as my bill heads to the President's desk.
