  Because I learn from labor movements of the past and how to apply what worked for them to our current situation.

        Okay, question. The rail companies are rolling in dough, obviously, and the strikers would be paid by the union during the strike, but what about those of us whose jobs depend on the delivery of products and materials by rail? Like I said, a strike would have shuttered our business and put a bunch of folks out of work. Big corporations can weather the strike, us small and medium businesses cannot. So, more power ends up in the hands of the owner class, and we all have slightly less to go around. How’s that the progressive dream? Nah, learn to see past your own nose. Things are never as simple as people present them on places like this. Nothing in life is black and white. 'Cept cows and dalmatians.
