in reply to @StandplaatsKRK's post:
Rail workers have twice the workplace danger as cops, good luck enforcing anything, pigs.
i feel like by going to quash strikes cops workplace danger increases dramatically lol
Though in reality I expect the enforcement will lean on the union leadership threatening them with fines and lawsuits.
Yeah, sadly the posturing is really cool and good, but reality is probably going to come down hard. Still: no reason not to spread defiant agitprop.
Oh, no, absolutely. The agitprop and narrative work is essential. When faced with a choice between a policy that will work long term and one that will make any opposition appear unsuccessful (even if it actually achieved its goals), the neoliberal world bureaucracy always employs the latter tactic. Unmasking their weakness is essential.
Oh nice, are they continuing the strike? Good for them. :). Do you have any links I can read about it? News only seems to have updates from the bill on Friday
Who thought biden was the most pro labor lmfao. That's a hard life to live.
I haven't been able to keep up with the news as much as Id like due to Anxiety, is there going to be a wildcat strike?
The WSWS is saying that a wildcat strike is happening, and they're sourcing it to a committee I can't find any existence of outside of their website. Meanwhile, one of the guys with RWU is saying to Labor Notes that the rank-and-file isn't sufficiently activated or organized to do a wildcat strike right now, saying specifically "Rail labor is not organized. We’re not where we need to be. And membership isn’t active enough for us to win the kinds of things we want to win in future contracts. We’ve got to make that happen."
I'm more inclined to believe the group I can find any information on, so it seems like right now a wildcat strike's mostly just wishful thinking, though I'd love to be proven wrong.
Thanks for the link! I like that the person being interviewed points out how airlines do rolling strikes, that would be a nice way to accelerate the rail workers' negotiations. (a wildcat strike is good too tho)
