These contracts haven't been ratified.
This is just all political theater.
The members of the unions hold the power to vote down.
Period.
Obviously nobody did a simple search for what they are demanding 24% pay increase paid all the way back to 2020 of November a 5000.00 bonus . And the reason for this massive pay raise to deal with the cost of inflation. If this pay raise is given this means more inflation for me and you this is a loss for me and you. So know the entire work force needs to get 24% pay raise to deal with the new inflation on the way from this added burden. So I want 35% pay raise to combat your own added inflation increase.
Correction. Strike Postponed! We aren't voting yes on this crap agreement.
Lies
They don't even have days off that's what the strike is for not money
The deal is an absolute slap in the face and none of the workers are celebrating. These news channels need to adjust to reality. They haven't even voted on the deal yet how is it a victory?
Definition of tentative:
1: not fully worked out or developed
tentative plans
2: HESITANT, UNCERTAIN
3: not certain or fixed; provisional.
the strike maybe averted but possibly only temporarily. because the economy is slowly crashing, entering a Great Depression and those workers that were wanting more money will still need even more money in the future as prices skyrocket across the board.
Don’t forget the 400 dollars a month for healthcare
Ballots are comming to us the 20th. We’re all out
Don't forget gas is still high. And inflation is at all time high.
Way to go! Stick it to the man!
What a load of burnt rumproast!
1st we still have to vote
2nd tentatively means we will be back in 3 months.
Oooooo 1 paid day, no mention we get zero days and are on call 24/7.
Those of you that think its about money can maybe explain to me (since you seem to know it all) why out of 300 new employees just in my region there are only 3 left!
Its brutal, you never get the time you earn off, when you ask for it aka vacation, you don't get it consecutive ever! You're threatened if you miss a day for any reason, even your own funeral. And Furthermore forced to work with covid (yes with covid) 7 days even if you're still very ill, or whatever viral thing is going around (You Work) HiViz has not been done away with. This is a huge joke. Furthermore we deserve to be heard, not have congress step in (they have never done so until now) why so the big boys don't lose more of the ridiculous amounts of money these corporations made especially throughout covid let alone the last 200 yrs, Hey we work for it, they pocket it!
So all you nay Sayers can now STF⬆️

I vote no, this isn't over!
Give the actual details of the deal. Biden gets bent over by the unions, so once again US taxpayers pay for democrat-created crises.
One sick day? I used to get 14 paid. Dude, pizza slingers in Europe get better than that by a wide margin.
Great they get rich and I will crawl I to the corner and starve to death with my family thanks America rich get richer and poorer die !!!!!!!!!
That's the way I like it.
Everybody go on Strike we need better pay. Or it's payback season 💪
This strike is telling me, that America is in trouble.
God help us.
Fake news
ITS NOT OVER
It’s not over we have to vote , I vote no!
Yes, what an amazing job! It takes a real negotiator to cave to the unions and hand out 14-30% wage increases on the taxpayer dime! Another Union shielded from the pain caused by Joe Bidens crushing inflation! Every taxpayer should be outraged! Only Democrat constituents make out in a Biden administration! Everyone else is hunted like dogs and forced to pay crushing increases to the cost of living.
Biden supporter will realize that he Breaks his promise and does the opposite.
LOL this woman said they get an additional sick day, but conveniently left out they currently get ZERO sick days off and are on call 24/7 😂
Oh my GOD! The Biden Regime has saved the day! at least for another 30 days.
Every democrat needs to get voted out of office. Only then will things improve in this country.
This is not a done deal we still have to vote on it. And we are voting no on it just one payed sick day is garbage. And its not a 24 % pay raise its compound meaning 22% pay increase with 1000 dollars bonus that will gex the hell taxed like crazy and it is supposed to offset the increase medical insurance. Its not a drone deal it has not been voted in one sick day a year is garage hell no vot for me.
I work for the railroad this will only delay a strike for 30 days, this pass better not pass. You think it is good that the best part is that you don't get fired for taking off, that's bullshit! That's how it should be but you should get sick days
Weak deal lol embarrassing
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine emprutt.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennq ich 4 wählen würde
I would like to know how many of these rail workers are conservative who demand better pay but want others to NOT.
ThIS!!!! This people is what governance and being a president is. If this was trump, it would’ve DEFINITELY happened. Dude was useless in 99 ways but a criminal ain’t one.
