Posting this here too: OK, so if I understand correctly…
They didn’t vote to improve working conditions for those workers
They didn’t vote to increase pay for those workers
They didn’t vote on any of the demands the workers had
They voted to make it illegal for them to strike?
Am I getting this right?
no its been illegal to strike in america for a long time it goes back to FDR and the formation the NLRB. it’s really just enforcement of current policy, its not just railroads there’s alot of stuff. Reagan did something similar with the airport unions. technically the only people allowed to strike are police officers, and only in the state of Illinois
about sums it up
So… We can drop the illusion that the US has freedom of expression and freedom of assembly right? Because a group of peaceful protesters (a strike is as peaceful as they get, the whole point is literally inaction as a form of protest) just got forcibly shut down by the government.
Yup, US is police state in full meaning of the word, and were for decades actually, but they produce so much copaganda that even their own citizens get fooled, not to mention foreigners.
And they should strike anyways.
LOL
