The Senate quickly -- quickly!! -- voted 80-15 to impose an "agreement" on rail workers and forbid them from striking (both of my Senators voted "yes"). Under Senate rules, any one Senator may object to bringing a bill to the floor, requiring days of debate and various procedural steps, so this means not one Senator objected to a quick vote, and then the vote was overwhelming with majorities from both parties.
No right to strike, no right to paid sick leave, that's America, that's freedom, that's being #1.
America's the only country
That gives with its whole heart,
And asks so very little;
We always do our part.
