Negotiations

[MAKAVELI]

Biden signed the RLA in effect a month before the strike in order to deny the workers that right. Am I wrong in saying that? Because I’ve heard this before but don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Railworkers can strike normally right? Otherwise, what is the point of the union?

Yes you are wrong. The president has always had that power with the RLA.

 

[RangerMan06]

Maybe. Would you give up a 42 an hr job if the government orders you back to work?

I don't think they could replace all of us.

 

[UnionStrong]

I don't think they could replace all of us.

They can’t, but that’s beside the point.

 

[Non liberal]

Yeah,


I can totally see the ambiguity.

The under?

 

[Non liberal]

Yes you are wrong. The president has always had that power with the RLA.

So he had to sign it? He had no choice? That’s not what the railworkers and every article written about the subject says.

 

[Non liberal]

Yeah,


I can totally see the ambiguity.

You don’t even know what that word means

Congress has the power under the RLA.

From the guy who thought the RLA was signed into effect in 2022...

So the railroad can never strike?

Can the railroad ever strike?

 

[Bubblehead]

So the railroad can never strike?

I gave you the resources to educate yourself?

....and the Railway Labor Act was signed into law in 1926, btw.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Congress has the power under the RLA.

President has always had the power under the RLA.

Kinda, they can always be pushed back to work if Congress chooses to exercise that right, It would be a national economic disaster if they walked.

In theory, yes, they can. In reality, mommy and daddy will never let them.

 

[burrheadd]

But what could he possibly do? If he orders us back to work and we all refuse... then what

Ask the air traffic controllers that were part of PATCO

It’s a simple question. Can the railroad ever strike? Or does the president HAVE to intervene everytime?

 

[RangerMan06]

Far less of them than us.

EXACTLY if congress chooses to exercise that right. Congress chose to, and Biden chose to sign it.

Wouldn't make us any less fired.

Oh my, now I know why you call yourself bubblehead.
