Reply to comment by pogchampnibba69420 in I Called Jared Golden, Susan Collins, and Angus King today to express my support for railroad workers. I hope you call your reps, too! by Stunning_Ambition_16

Maybe I’m missing it, but it doesn’t seem like they implied causation?

Seems like they’re worried that a railroad strike would cause a temporary increase in cost, while inflation is already high. Which seems fairly reasonable, but is apparently controversial?

The controversial piece is that workers want quality of life, owners pulled in $20 billion last year alone. Owners like Warren Buffet can allow workers to have FOUR unpaid days off, instead they get ZERO days off.

It’s barbaric. Almost as barbaric as blaming the workers for choices made at the executive level.
