#1 ...Just a little thought experiment: what happens if the railway unions go on strike anyways?

It's not like there's a backup of trained, capable people to run the trains. And President Biden might be more than willing to jam a somewhat unfair contract down their throats, but is he willing to pull the trigger on fines or even arrests of a labor union and its members?

#5 Mike: South Korean truckers striking for more pay mainly due to high fuel costs. Gov’t threatening to arrest them, revoke license, etc if they don’t return to work. Already seeing slowdowns at ports. Also fuel truckers also taking part in strike. Might be a preview of rr strike if WA sh1tshow has their way.
Real railroading ain’t a Lionel around the Christmas tree, but these fools would try and wonder why an American Flyer set won’t run on the 3 rail big L…….

And brass, engraved, shone like the sun
From me humble caboose.
