If the workers are so critical, why wouldn’t the company proactively negotiate in good faith? Seems like it should be solved by the market, in good capitalist fashion, right? /s

Please tell me that rail image is real.

@Gladaed @grte That is a real freight train, as far as I can tell. But it looks weird because it appears they photoshopped or told AI to remove the (likely Canadian Pacific) logos off the side of the locomotive and owner logos off train cars, and the train numbers off the grey rounded rectangles. In railfan parlance, this locomotive model is a "Gevo"... compare with this photo of a similar engine.

That's what a CN train looks like in person so I don't have any reason to assume it's not.

That's an amazing look.
