Guess Who’s Trying to Cause Problems With the Railroad Tentative Agreement?

This morning, in the post on Biden wanting Congress to vote to approve the Tentative Agreement, I ended with

[Biden] also wants, again, zero changes. No adding this or that or the other from Democrats or Republicans. Who’s your bet on the first to attempt to attach ryders to the bill? I’m going with Squad members.

This didn’t take long

Railroad workers grind themselves to the bone for this country as their labor produces billions for Wall St.

They demand the basic dignity of paid sick days. I stand with them.

If Congress intervenes, it should be to have workers’ backs and secure their demands in legislation. https://t.co/LTjIlyAb8C

And not just AOC

I choose workers, not corporations. The rail workers deserve human dignity in the workplace. I will not support a deal without paid sick days workers are demanding. No worker should have to choose between a paycheck and taking care of themselves and their loved ones. https://t.co/rO89AdUld6

Railroad workers are asking for paid sick time, it’s a simple dignified request.

We stand with them and will do everything in our power to make sure their request is granted. Railroad corporations are making record profits and shouldn’t put profits over people.

3 of the 4 originals. Nothing From Ayanna Pressley. Nothing from Cori Bush, who was added. But

Listen, I can’t in good conscience vote for a bill that doesn’t give rail workers the paid leave they deserve. We fumbled this in Build Back Better, we can’t do that again.
