- JohnFen 4y agoI doubt that's the only option.
- datavirtue 4y agoThese people are ultra-reliable, proven workers with a lot of skills. They could move to construction for similar or better pay. You don't make any serious coin with the railroad unless you are working overtime. They all work their lives away.
- i_am_proteus 4y agoReliability, proof, and skills aren't of much import if nobody's hiring for the particular version of those things that you have. This is exactly how you get certain sectors of labor getting rough treatment from the Establishment even though there's a national net labor shortage.
