WASHINGTON—Praising the last-minute agreement to deny the laborers any sort of civility or respect, President Joe Biden signed legislation Friday to avert a crisis in which rail workers might have been treated like actual human beings.

“So much of what Americans rely on is delivered by train—from clean water to food to gas—and the last thing we want is for the people responsible for transporting those goods to be able to stay home when they’re seriously ill. Thanks to this law, we can guarantee that no engineer driving 20,000 tons of freight across this great nation will be able to access healthcare without having their pay docked.

XAPOC_O_AXAPOC The temporary negotiations have been going on for months and it is still going on. Biden simply would not let them strike before the holidays. Get the facts straight or don’t post.

Biden does the bidding of Warren Buffett not the workers.

wheres the joke :(

This isn't even satire its literally what happened

You know things are fucked when the Onion is making a legitimate headline

This is literally true!

I thought the Onion was supposed to be satire... are they doing news now?

Hey, I thought this account was supposed to be satire.

How about USPS workers getting raped by Amazon and can’t strike and barely make enough to survive? No one cares about them.

The Onion reporting actual news again! Silly Onion! You should be writing fake headlines you silly goose!

Senate Republicans are to blame...

When did The Onion become a normal newspaper? Is the Onion going to do satire again?

Y’all are supposed to be satire.

Did he do it in crayons and were they made in China.

Sad but actually true

Sorry your side lost in 2020 and 2022.

I’m blocking

Wow eat a whole bag🖕🏻

*cough*

Satire though?

i’m old enough to remember when the onion wasn’t a cloaca of tankie trash

Wow, the so-called union guy

For those of you leaping to the defense of railroad workers: Before making a decision about this issue, get the facts about the generous benefits that railroad workers already receive.

Thought you were supposed to be satire?!

popsknox 😭

StevenBrust

Treating them like humans you say? Why on earth would our corporation mama america treat its commodities like actual humans?

President Union fucks over Union because people who work don’t deserve sick days

LiberationistMA Shameless creatures

The possible (Rail Workers Strike) is the kind of story americans would of read about in the News Papers 100yrs ago. The hallmark of Neoliberalism is the more things change..the more they remain the same.

Most accurate headline on the rail strike to date.

WaitingOnBiden hang on I thought this was a satirical news site

HungryFreakDady

When satire is reality before it's satire.

omcgill1 Leftist philanthropy should pay rail workers to quit. If every single rail worker in America quit tomorrow, the owners would stop fucking around & come back to the table right quick. That's what I think. Not about philanthropy but about quitting. What think u?

Vote Biden the Union Buster 2024

WhiskersCrowley Whew.. what a relief! Can you imagine the inhumanity of the share holders not being able to afford their 5th yacht?!?! I mean, come on man.. its Christmas time!!

WaitingOnBiden Article from management’s newsletter.

This is wrong

I hope you are trying to lose the 2024 elections. Because that’s how you are going to lose the elections

And the next day Biden and his office staff called out sick…and got a paid day off.

“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” ― Warren Buffett

“Capital is dead labour which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.”

Wait, is the Onion real news now? This is actually happening.

Like world history the vulnerable get enslaved.

When companies are vulnerable (like during the pandemic) then it's a crisis when ppl are vulnerable the gov reveals it's role of enslaving vulnerable workers to monopolies.

Indieafterbern These headlines are saying the quiet part out loud. Fact is stranger than fiction these days

JoeBiden POTUS does not care about rail workers. Or any workers for that matter.

JE17118537 I don’t believe it to be legal for the Biden government to tell non government employees how much pay they are to receive. That just can’t be so.

We love both parties and we love the VOTEBLUE and VOTERED no matter who voters. Together, they have helped us reach the top, but there's still more work to do, so keep it up people. Keep CorporateAmerica on the winning path and remember to thank your legislators!

Matt_Gr33n

This guy thinks he’s a Republican!

Washington DC tramples on your freedoms, subverts your constitutional rights, and can take anything they want. Americans can’t and won’t do anything about it. This is our new American reality.

Bingo

Where's the funny?

AnsrMax Quid Pro Joe...

Shit like this is why people feel like both parties are the same. In their daily life, at work, they're getting fucked. Dems need to do better than this trash but they won't cause they know for a lot of people they're the only option.

Imagine thinking RR workers are mistreated…they are some of the highest paid best benefitted labor on the planet and they just got a 24% raise…give me a freaking break.

Won't somebody think of the shareholders!

A 24% pay increase with 30 PTO days is INHUMAN! 😂 What’s the contract for onion staff? Let me guess: LESS.

how many people take you all seriously? people who cant operate a search engine or trust one i assume

I thought you were a parody site

this isn't even satire anymore this is just news

Treating people like humans is for peasants 🤫🤫🤫

johncusack You're doing it wrong, Onion. Babylon Bee says your title needs 20 words minimum.

Accurate 🎯

jerryiannelli Christ… the left are pathetic.

johncusack Now people see why Dems push for unionization. So they can control them at the behest of billionaire robber barons like Buffett catturd2 elonmusk

Again, The Onion puts media like nytimes wapo CNN and all the other corporate media to shame.

Flop tweet

stevebait This is soul destroying.

Is it satire if it's just like ...an accurate description of an event that just happened? Satire is dead, long live satire.

I miss when the onion was satire

He takes a victory lap for giving them what they wanted. Can't blame the workers.

They already get like 30 personal days on top of their vacation.

i followed you just for this post. so perfect.

The onion don't miss

Okay that's not even satire.

Keep our politicians culpable. 👏👏👏

GeneralStrike

yall dont miss

That's not even fake

Conservatives seamlessly transition from calling Biden a godless Communist bent on destroying the free market to bemoaning his heartless decision of business interests against labor concerns.

hmm

Makes no sense. Sorry, I’ll stop responding.

Nice....

ChubbyPrimate

I thought y'all made satire not news

To POTUS

The commitment to dehumanizing working people is a bipartisan consensus in Washington. Yet again comedy shames journalism by better describing the reality of what politicians obscure with the help of journalists.

Joe Biden: 'My thoughts & tweets are with the railway workers ...'

I think this is the least of his worries right now👍😆😆😉

Lunchpail Joe blue collar Joe is an absolute Friday and you all voted for it

DreamLeaf5 Miss just once

Oh my God, they wrote an article satirizing a Democrat

But what about the economy? 🤓
