No it didn’t get resolved the govt. put a halt to it for now because they say the country is hurting bad enough from what they did. My grandson is a controller at the Ft. Worth TX. hub. He said basically the strike has been put on hold for now. It hasn’t been resolved!

Who got us into this mess? It wasn’t the railroad employees.

I can say you are a wealth of misinformation it is not an Amtrac Strike.
It contract dispute between unions and tail transportation owners like Union Pacific, CSX...
Amtrak was going to cancel passenger traffic rails they do not own or control.

Anyone feel as I do? Some participants hog these threads.

Out of 92 posts 12 are one poster. No wonder his count is so high. And that's just one thread!

Does he have to comment on so many comments?

Feeling grumpy today. I know I can skip his posts.

And next month we will all be high-fiving each other when we get what is estimated to be a 8 1/2 to 9% increase in Social Security!
