Freight rail strike threatens supply chains, prompting White House planning
White House aides are looking at how to ensure essential products carried by rail — such as food, energy, and key health products — could still reach their final destination even in the event of a potential strike.
Hasnain says:
What I find infuriating is that most reporting is just talking about the supply chain disruption and not the core issue at hand: workers are looking to strike so they can get **unpaid** sick leave (not even paid!). America never fails to disappoint when it comes to cruel healthcare and employment situations.
““The average American would not know that we get fired for going to the doctor. This one thing has our members most enraged. We have guys who were punished for taking time off for a heart attack and covid. It’s inhumane.””
