It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Paid sick leave was not the primary issue. The primary issue that the unions were striking about is "precision rail scheduling" which basically has rail workers on a 24/7 on call. They have no time off, and failing to answer a midnight or 4 am call to go to a train and drive it costs you your job. One of the reasons workers wouldn't answer a call was because they were sick, and had no sick days.
So, the main issue has not been resolved and the strike was broken before it even started, and this sick day thing is just a small concession that Biden got the rail companies to give
Damn. Then the mainstream media coverage of this whole thing was unsprisingly just straight up lies and deception.
As others have said that wasn't rhe main point of contention.
After continuing to negotiate for mo ths with zero support from Biden some of the rail workers got some days off.
Or, as libs will shriek at you if you criticize Biden, Biden personally got every rail worker exactly what they asked for proving they didn't have to strike in the first place.
Can I spam this on Reddit so I can collect more downvotes?
