The train of Joe Biden’s rail troubles is reaching its destination.
America begins its crucial election week by holding the final decisive battle of this year’s election in Georgia, where Joe Biden has seemingly safely passed through one of the most crisis-inducing dilemmas he has faced.
He has managed to quickly approve an agreement between the workers and employees of the rail lines and their leaders with the efforts of Congress and the serious support of Nancy Pelosi. In fact, the advantage of existing laws allows the government and Congress to intervene in such unions and their leaders’ disputes and make their interaction legal.
In this way, one of the biggest threats to the economy, livelihood, and daily life of Americans, which was the threat of a widespread strike by rail workers, has been eliminated. Estimates of the financial damages caused by a possible strike on the rail lines have been in the tens of billions of dollars.
However, the important point in these interactions is that not all of what the employees and workers wanted has been achieved. There are remaining demands that are now out of reach for them, and these remaining demands will lead to serious grievances and even animosity towards the labor unions due to the process carried out by the government and Congress. The labor unions are a powerful support base that Biden and his party cannot afford to lose.
