A reader remarks on a potential nation-wide strike by railway workers:
I’d rather like it if they did go on strike, I think.
American capitalism needs a wake-up call. There’s a good chance I’d lose my job if the strike were lengthy, since I work for a company very dependent on cargo logistics. But the amount of abuse inflicted on workers by ever-more-cost-shaving corporations has got to stop.
Quite often I’ll run across remarks to the affect that American workers don’t vote in their own economic self-interest. This is an example just such a voter, who prefers to think of the future of the country rather than their own narrow interests.
My concern is that a strike would throw the November election back in the favor of Republicans, who are terrible at governing and national management.
