    The truth is that the railroad workers know their position in the economy all too well and expected the government to end a strike quickly if they let it go at all.

    The big disappointment is that Biden and Congress choose the company’s proposals as the basis for the imposed contract instead of the Union’s demands on time off, staffing, and safety.

    In fact the companies were counting on it, which is why they never moved from their outrageous demands in negotiations.

      It was disappointing, but not surprising in the least.
