On the flip side I have some friends that are on the union side and they are saying they are sick and tired of being treated like a commodity.
So obviously two sides to the story which I'm sure you knew.
Interesting about those critical pieces of infrastructure. How much of it did the taxpayers fund to build?

Railroads in general have a really interesting role in nation building and came with a whole lot of grifting. Lots of interesting reads on their history. The only option governments really have is to nationalize them if they think there are serious issues with how they are run as you can't feasibly build a new rail network.
Latest rumour is money demands are basically met but the time off demands are the thing really out of whack. I don't think they will get much love publicly if the union is actually demanding 200 days of scheduling availability.
