quit- screw metra!
So we can all expect Metra service to get worse. I guess I’ll be receiving more emails like this one from a few days ago “Metra Alert BNSF – Train #1296 departing Aurora at 8:04 PM – delayed departure, Crew Shortage”
These fascists are nuts. Postal union, congress and their aids are still untouched though. I truly feel enraged and on the side of the govt union when it comes to mandates. Hopefully the SCOTUS will end this madness in private sector. Even if they do, government will extort private companies with the threat of lost contracts. First they use mandates to take your job, next they use it to deny medical care.
Let’s ask the judge if the “why don’t you work somewhere else” argument applies to union strikes too.

or get fired
How is that not coercion rather than a choice?
Is this another Judge that needs to find alternate employment?

Federal Judges are appointed for life.
The judge says they have a choice. Since when is coercion a choice? Coercion is not informed consent. This is still under EUA – which means it cannot be mandated.
