I think government union jobs are the only place that collective bargaining like this even exists.
I know that's what the unions and the democrats are saying about ending it, but I heard the GOP saying it will end the union getting direct deposit of the dues the members pay and give the union members more rights when voting about money spent by the unions.
I also heard about teachers are not allowed to get time off for events like this, so there are doctors giving sick notes in the crowds. I've been thru a strike before, it's going to get nasty, but if the majority holds, then they are doing it for nothing, we'll see.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
