I saw your post and went ahead with what I meant to do,, so now, your post.
The railroads, for their part, “have no plans to lock out workers Friday should negotiations not be successfully completed,” the Association of American Railroads told CNBC.
Good news, but will railroad workers who support the strike make it hard on those who choose to go to work? My crystal ball is foggy.
The bottom link is the most informative thing I've seen so far.
Union negotiators offered the rail carriers a one-page, single-sided proposal to spare employees disciplinary points if they schedule routine medical visits in advance for days they would otherwise have to work, according to Pierce.
“You have to understand these workers are not on scheduled days. They have no scheduled days off. They work whenever they get called,” he said. “We are just asking for our workers to be able to go get their medical appointment done and not have to be at work that day.”
Seems to me that if a worker can make an appointment that is several days out, the boss could get someone to cover that guy's job. It doesn't sound like the workers are being jakkasses.
