I know the White House has been trying to broker a deal, but the Union wants like 30% pay raises for everyone.
I know it’s early out here and I don’t have my contacts in and haven’t had any coffee. But that does say 30% right?
ETA: contacts are in, coffee is brewing and it still says 30%. Frick.

Normally not sympathetic to the unions but the railway shite is insane on several levels.
One such issue brought up is that being at a certain grade may mean that the only available position for you may be 3+ hrs away and you have to basically live there while your family stays put.
OTOH, you have low level people with jobs working 5 minutes from home.
The railroads have also been fricking with everyone since Covid, in part because the railway laws heavily restrict the ability to strike.
