Wurst RWU Discusses Railroad Labor Fight

The railroad workers fight for better benefits and working conditions has prompted President Biden to urge Congress to make the strike illegal and force the workers to accept a contract they have largely rejected. Congress is being urged to at least add sick time to the deal but so far Congress has resisted even that. Nick Hurst, a member of Railroad Workers United from Massachusetts explains the workers’ position, including the call for public ownership of the railroads due to its vital nature.
