  1. Peak of labor union power was in 1970s.
    The economy was booming(post war economic expansion), because everyone(not only union members) had the money to spend.

    What "economic consequence"?

  2. Class A Trucker RUN this Country!
    Go ahead !?! It ONLY may slow things down
    BUT Truckers stop??? Just 2-3 weeks and it’ll bring America begging on its knees – FACTS
    PS go ahead??? Truckers just hire more ppl! America CAN survive w out Trains – again FACTS😊

  3. Railroads…. They're not going to have diesel fuel in 3 weeks to run them with. Not even ships or big rigs or farm tractors will be running, and if there's any heating oil left it can't be delivered. Biden and his left wing loons are almost done destroying America, and the Obama behind the curtain has completed his promise to "fundamentally change America".

  4. There is a web site you can go to, and it tells you that the railroad engineers WILL strike on November 19th. Is this the Biden, " build back better America" plan?

  5. The issue isn’t the pay raise so get that out your minds. There’s a whole lot more that’s involved that doesn’t get talked about, but the raise we are fine with.

  6. It’s not about raise why do they keep making it about raise?😂

  7. Comprehensive view on freight? But he doesn’t know about the TA that will be rejected by multiple unions? He thinks it will pass. Wow. He thinks men and women are willing to keep being abused by this pathetic TA that isnt even a status quo to what they had last year. So much has been taken away.

    They get 22% raise BUT increased hours required went up by 26% without ANY additional compensation. The TA and wages proposed is another insult. The draconian conditions have the workforce beyond strike. They’re resigning en masse

  8. POV Fox News: Americans have more say in how capitalism works and that means the apocalypse. LOL

  9. Its almost like the elite don't want Americans to practice their freedoms to express themselves and gather in peaceful protest. LOL

  10. Predicting you won't have a military…… when they don't make enough to feed themselves…….

  11. To avoid a crippling strike before the election.

  12. It’s an election year! Biden and the Dems tell Union brass to jump and they ask, “How high?”

  13. I think our farmers and ranchers should revolt now as well and call attention to what our government is doing to cause shortages, inflation, and pushing climate change bs. More people need to wake up to what’s been going on behind our backs.

  14. TIME TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE NOT DOMINATED OR CONTROLLED BY MARXIS UNIONS

  15. News flash!@we are already in a recession!!!!

  16. Time for a trucking strike.

  17. And they were worried about the mob 30 years ago! Biden is worse!

  18. The only craft that dose better than congress in the railroad workers! They get more benefits and higher wages !!

  19. Let them strike over paid rail workers. They will be doing the trucking industry a big favor and that money truckers make actually helps the economy

  20. truckers and rail workers need to sshut this country down… tell the establishment to keep their nose out of politics and let Americans be Americans
