Yes please. I’m a railway worker. When it comes to arbitration, they reference the wages of the only other railway to justify shotty pay increases. 2 years later, arbitration steps in for them and references our shitty wages are justification to fuck them. We’re in a feedback loop…or a death spiral.
Oh, and until it was mandated by the federal government a few years ago, we had 0 sick days, 0 personal days, 0 floater days etc… small vacation only. Very little quality of life. Always travelling, always on call. No wonder they can’t keep employees.
