Joe Biden ABANDONS Rail Workers

An all-star labor panel convenes to break down how the "most labor friendly president since FDR" backed management & abandoned rail workers, how the media ran cover for Biden's betrayal, and how the so-called progressives in the House once again tried to use technocratic tools to obscure their complicity. Union train engineer Ross Grooters returns to the podcast along with The Real News' Maximilian Alvarez, and Bad Faith newbie an co-host of Well There's Your Problem podcast about engineering disasters. Every political & angle is covered, complete with Max's unbeatable sermons. You're not going to want to miss this one. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.

Terrific guests. Cutting edge analysis. This is what real leftism is about.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD (2022 Edition) New lyrics by Nemesis I've been bleeding dry the railroad All the live-long day I've been buying back my own stock 'Stead of raising worker pay I cut costs and raise my profits Running trains with just one guy I say workers are essential But I don't care if they die Pay the CEO Pocket all the dough My business plan will go Without a hitch Working with COVID Never see your kids Your life is on the skids But I'm rich! I've been selling out the railroad All the live-long day I've been forcing thru a contract Don't care what the unions say Never mind the lack of sick leave Or that staffing is a crime We don't mind a little fascism If the trains can run on time! Hear the whistle blow More hot air from Joe He says he's union pro But he backs the boss Shut up, Bernie bro Let the profits flow Keeping wages low Your loss! I don't care about the railroad All my talk's a bluff I don't care about supply chains Whether you all get your stuff The bottom line is all that matters Being rich is so terrific! I just care about campaign cash From BNSF and Union Pacific Tell the bastards no Their greed has got to go Make worker power grow Across the nation Let the freight be slow If that's what it takes to show That justice is our destination!

Lest we forget why the the Railway Labor Act as passed in 1926. It was after the Great Railroad Strike of 1922 which followed the most important strike prior to that, the Pullman Strike led by Eugene Debs. It was passed to “to avoid any interruption to commerce.” This forced agreement is a straight up denial of fundamental freedoms and should be challenged. There hasn't been, as far as I can tell, a legitimate challenge to the constitutionality of this law, and there damn well should be.

So is the wildcat/“illegal” strike just not going to happen I guess? Obviously everyone has to be cautious with how they talk about it, but holy shit it’s so demoralizing knowing that the workers are just going to have to eat this.
