Not just this thread, sadly.

I put up a sticky about it.
Someone created a bot that posted over 7,000 garbage comments in multiple communities.

Yeah, I'm super curious as to what was said.

It's just garbage random text with pictures of some simpsons stripper guy who strangles George Floyd between his ass cheeks.

Thanks. Yeah, pretty much useless spam.

At the bottom on the screen when viewing in a browser you can click the modlog and search for the users name.
But be careful, usually nothing good is in these modlogs 😐

Ah, thanks. Will have to ask the dev for the app I am using to add that option. (Boost for Lemmy)

Is this going to result in better prices for customers?

Conveniently ignores his signing into law making it illegal for the Rail Workers to strike. Very much a Reagan move and very much not pro-worker. Union solidarity!

The Transport Workers union has already endored Biden.
DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y
So? Has Railroad Workers United?
Rapidcreek@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
They're part of the old United Transportation Union, AFL CIO, which endorsed Biden.
If you really want a union not to pick Biden, I'd pick the Teamsters. Who haven't endosed yet.

RWU is not part of another union. They may have members in the AFL CIO, but many aren't.

No. The right to strike is still denied to railroad workers. (And air traffic controllers which is why I referenced Genocide Joe being like Ronnie who fired ALL the air traffic controllers when they went on strike because it was already illegal for them to do so)
You might be thinking about how further negotiations were done to get some concessions from the companies in regards to sick time.

As we all know, 60% is passing...?
So, by contact, not by law, some railroad workers get 4 days of paid sick leave. (some get more, some can convert other paid time off towards sick days) By law in New Jersey most workers get up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year.
And this doesn't touch on how farm and immigrant workers get screwed over. I have to limit the discussion somewhat.
