Sounds like the best way to solve that is to detail really bad stuff.

despite efforts to end practice of retaliation

efforts

“efforts”

That word is putting in the most effort here

Really should use a different term in this case, for a second I thought there was a special job for the person that blows the horn…

biden shouldn’t have crushed the strike.

he’s totally pro-labor though

I agree, but he's unfortunately better than the alternative. I would have hoped that a guy whose nickname was "Amtrack Joe" would've done better. I'm guessing he was worried about the midterms or the 2024 election, given that everything that makes peoples' lives harder somehow gets unfairly blamed on him.

It just goes to show that Democrats are just a more sane conservative party with more tolerant social policies, they're not actually all that pro worker. The Europeans are right about this.

Yup, he’s definitely not taking up space where a real people’s candidate would be, after representing an on-shore tax haven for decades. He makes verbal blunders sometimes, just like you and me, so I trust him.

That was really an eye opening moment. They didn’t just interject, or caution parties, or attempt to broker a deal. They fucking CRUSHED the workers so hard their kids will remember it. If using a heavy hand was absolutely necessary - and it was not - why not crush the railway companies? The vast majority of the country was behind the workers, so they’d only gain political capital. Instead they took the coldest, most brutal neoliberal position possible. I honestly don’t think the Republicans would have done worse had they been in control.

When someone tells you who they are with their actions, you should listen.

Still a better option than Trump, but holy fuck is that a low bar.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Richard Singleton’s case against Norfolk Southern was settled for an undisclosed amount after the judge said he had enough evidence to go to trial over whether he was disciplined for reporting safety violations that slowed trains passing through a Macon, Georgia, railyard.

The railroads are working to eliminate such practices with policies prohibiting retaliation and myriad ways for workers fearful of retribution to report safety concerns, either directly to a manager or anonymously through an internal hotline.

Other major railroads, including BNSF, Union Pacific, CPKC, Canadian National and CSX, echoed that sentiment in statements and said they encourage employees to report safety concerns.

Long before Mike Ratigan was fired from CSX in New York last year after refusing to help circumvent federal safety standards or ignore railcar flaws, he said he saw other workers sanctioned.

Dale Gourneau had a reputation as a “tenacious safety advocate” who may have written more “bad order” tags listing defects on railcars than anyone else in the Mandan, North Dakota, railyard where he worked for 18 years.

His widow successfully argued in court that after being berated by managers for flagging too many cars for repairs, Fulk killed himself rather than face a disciplinary hearing and possible firing on trumped-up charges of trying to sabotage a train’s braking system.
