Rebekah Jones, a Democrat who will face off against Matt Gaetz in November’s midterms, has heavily criticized the GOP Florida congressman after a picture of her autistic 12-year-old online was posted onto his Facebook page to mock her campaign.
Matt Gaetz is literally a Nazi pedophile so him mocking a child with Autism isn’t really at all surprising but it is yet another example of how he’s a disgusting creature utterly unfit to hold any form of job much less one in politics
“The duty of every revolutionary is to make the revolution. It is known that the revolution will triumph in America and throughout the world, but it is not for revolutionaries to sit in the doorways of their houses waiting for the corpse of imperialism to pass by.”
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and the SMART Transportation Division represent half of railroad union workers.
Eight out of the 12 unions have reached tentative agreements with the railroad carriers, according to the National Carriers’ Conference Committee. They did not negotiate the quality-of-life provisions, sources familiar with the negotiations tell CNBC. The unions have what are called “Me Too” agreements, which means whatever benefits the BLET and the SMART unions agree to in their contracts with the carriers, other unions’ members receive.
“If this contract is presented to our members in its current form, it will not pass,” said a labor spokesperson to CNBC. “The workers are angry. They want movement on attendance policies and not be afraid to take a sick day or vacation day without the fear of termination. There will be no ratification unless this is addressed.”
A railroad spokesperson told CNBC they would not comment on ongoing negotiations, but stressed, “The railroads remain in active discussions with the unions that have not yet reached tentative agreements and will continue making every effort to reach agreements based on the PEB recommendations.”
In July, President Joe Biden appointed a Presidential Emergency Board in hopes of averting a strike and making recommendations that railroads and labor unions could agree on.
Attendance policies and staffing have been a point of contention over the last two years of this negotiation. More than 700 union workers quit after BNSF, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, instituted a points-based attendance system in February. The system was revised in May but union workers say the modifications did not fix the safety issues calling it “brutal.” Labor sources tell CNBC employees would be penalized for taking a day off to go to their parent’s funeral.
The railroad has contended that the new policy is critical to making sure it has enough workers available for its trains. Rails have faced scrutiny for worsening service from unions, shippers and regulators.
“The railroad has brought its labor woes on itself,” said a labor insider with knowledge of the negotiations. “They have made steep staffing cuts to appease shareholders and improve their bottom line. Workers are burned out. You have heard from the railroads they are hiring but they are not retaining talent because of the point system where you are on call for 12 hours a day and you have to be an hour or less away from your job. They are being held hostage.”

Mark Zuckerberg’s poor leadership skills are slowly dragging Meta toward failure, a Harvard expert says.
Zuckerberg’s shortcomings as CEO are “continuing to derail” the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, according to Bill George, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School and former CEO of medical technology company Medtronic.
“I think Facebook is not going to do well as long as he’s there,”
George tells CNBC Make It. “He’s likely one of the reasons so many
people are turning away from the company. He’s really lost his way.”
George has spent the past 20 years studying leadership failures in the workplace, recently compiling those findings into a new book called, “True North: Leading Authentically in Today’s Workplace, Emerging Leader Edition.”
In short, George says bosses that lose sight of their most deeply
held beliefs, values and purpose as a leader — especially in the name of
money, fame or power — are doomed to fail. And after decades of
researching high-profile corporate collapses, he says he sees striking
similarities to Zuckerberg and Meta today.
