Judd Legum on impending Rail Strike
Railroad companies have adamantly refused to include any short-term paid leave. That means rail workers must report to work, even when they are sick, or forfeit their pay. "It’s an insane and cruel system, and these guys are fed up with it," Peter Kennedy, chief negotiator for the maintenance workers union, which rejected the deal, said.

USA's gonna be rethinking freight for a while.
Shop locally and stock up if you can.
