I feel like they did but TBF they wouldn't have had the votes without some unpleasant compromises, and some compromise was better than no agreement at all.
And the good news is they were only a few votes short, which means the dems in general were on labor's side.
Let's hope (and I say this as an employer) we get further advancements in workers' rights soon. Things are way out of whack.
- mrguyorama 4y agoIt's arguable we would be in a better place if democrats didn't compromise and take that deal. Maybe our economy coming to a screeching halt for a bit is what it takes to show idiots that we should be supporting workers who make our insane GDP possible, instead of barely keeping up the status quo that does not benefit those rail workers.
- gumby 4y agoMaking the economy come to a screeching halt is what the debt ceiling morons want to do. There would be tons of collateral damage with either case, most of which would fall on the poorest people the most (e.g. sudden spike in food or fuel costs)
