I can be mad about more than one thing at a time.

But Biden trying to help some after fucking them over. That's kind of the bare minimum. I'd say I'm only a little disappointed in that.

Yah. Eventually they got a raise, and 4 whole days of paid sick leave. They still work skeleton crews on unsafe trains, with no power over their own schedule.

Again. It's not enough.

Rather than taking another several months it could have taken a few weeks, and they likely could've gotten much more.

And that temporary disaster would have forced permanent improvements to pay and working conditions. Some pain now, for gains later. That's how most everything works.

Labor day is a holiday for all the people who died fighting for better working conditions.

I said "enough" not "nothing". The Inflation Reduction Act goes to corpos first. Then whatever they can't manage to skim off for themselves, will go to workers. It's still a corpo first policy.

Replacing the parliamentarian to push through the $15 minimum wage would have been better.
