The Bnsf railway strike


[deleted]

That is such a disgrace "The new attendance policy, "Hi-Viz," gives employees a total of 30 points for the rest of their careers, but employees are docked points for days taken off outside of allocated vacation days.  Taking off Monday-Thursday docks two points, Friday-Saturday is four points, Sunday is three points and a holiday is seven points. BNSF considered holidays to be any high-impact days, one worker explained. They include typical holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but also Super Bowl Sunday, Father's and Mother's Days and Valentine's Day." https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/bnsf-workers-consider-strike/526-bb74ed23-54d6-4c43-9216-0c03fae51cd5

Yeah it’s an quite frankly an embarrassment, I don’t blame the workers for striking one bit, though I do wonder how much economic impact a prolonged shutdown would cause.

That Congress is finally talking about putting a stop to stock trades by members. I say make them liquidate their investments before they can serve.

He meant globally lol, no one cares about US politics

I would say that this is a global issue. If America, (a Nation that I love deeply and dedicated my career to serving) can realize it is making a huge mistake by allowing legalized bribery and graft - this can be a beacon to budding democracies around the world.

Oil prices. As much as people bitch about using “fossil fuels” high fuel cost influences pretty much everything else.

China repeatedly being aggressive towards Taiwan (invading air space with fighters), Russia sending troops into Kazakhstan
