Unfortunately, there is no perfect system when humans are involved. We'll either fuck it up or change our minds on what is perfect.

Thanks. Yeah, pretty much useless spam.
No. The right to strike is still denied to railroad workers. (And air traffic controllers which is why I referenced Genocide Joe being like Ronnie who fired ALL the air traffic controllers when they went on strike because it was already illegal for them to do so)
You might be thinking about how further negotiations were done to get some concessions from the companies in regards to sick time.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/most-unionized-us-rail-workers-now-have-new-sick-leave-2023-06-05/
WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) - More than 60% of U.S. unionized railroad workers at major railroads are now are covered by new sick leave agreements, a trade group said Monday. Last year railroads came under fire for not agreeing to paid sick leave during labor negotiations. In December, President Joe Biden signed legislation to block a national U.S. railroad strike that could have devastated the American economy after some unions voted against the deal over a lack of paid sick
As we all know, 60% is passing...?
So, by contact, not by law, some railroad workers get 4 days of paid sick leave. (some get more, some can convert other paid time off towards sick days) By law in New Jersey most workers get up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year.
And this doesn't touch on how farm and immigrant workers get screwed over. I have to limit the discussion somewhat.
And the TSA was put in place for that... No?
Sorry, but I have that on my 2028 bingo card. Let's not hurry that shit up!!
Why have a no fly list? If it was for unruly people that went through the court process that would be one thing (still would be unfair but less so than what we have).
Prepare the nipples for tweaking!
Fuck 50 times. Why should it be higher than 30...or 20...or even 10 times?
But yeah, communism with extra steps is better than what we have now. 😉👍
#1. Truly abolish slavery. #2. Change the legal system from punishment to rehabilitation. #3. Congress gets minimum wage. #4. Minimum wage and unemployment must be a livable wage.

Ah, thanks. Will have to ask the dev for the app I am using to add that option. (Boost for Lemmy)
I agree. Talking in such broad terms leaves a lot of holes. Since we're talking pie in the sky stuff maybe: have congressional service require divesting oneself of all past and future funds beyond X amount with the understanding that they have to have increased scrutiny in all financial matters- like no privacy. I can think of a lot of problems with this but could it be better than the current system? I don't see how it couldn't be a bit of an improvement over them making $174k and yet being hundreds millionaires from stock trading for themselves and family members over years of insider information.
