Part 2: Sparks Fly As Congress Forces Biden Contract Down Railroad Workers Throats with JP Johnson " former freight conductor, now locomotive fireman AMTRAK & steering committee Railroad Workers United Paul Lindsey " Union Pacific rail engineer & steering committee of Railroad Workers United Marilee Taylor " freight engineer Maximillian Alvarez - Editor-in-Chief at The Real News Network, covering labor disputes
The current move by Pres. Biden and Congress to impose a contract on 115,000 railroad workers " a contract that the members of rail unions representing the majority of those workers have rejected " is an unconscionable attack on rail workers, the labor movement, and the entire U.S. working class. The right to strike is a fundamental human right, and one of the most effective tools working people have to win justice from the greedy railroad bosses and capitalist oligarchs who increasingly seek to control not only our economy and our government, but every aspect of our lives. Railroad workers are fighting for basic human freedoms " harkening back to the Memphis striking sanitation workers demands to recognize their humanity and to be treated with dignity expressed on the picket signs they carried I Am A Man!
