The Government made it clear that they could not tolerate a strike because it would damage the economy. 
 
At this time, the bad working conditions are causing a shortage of employees, resulting in delayed shipping.  Does delayed shipping damage the economy? 
 
If so, how does the Government fix the problem of insufficient workforce?

Old saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Or, as we used to say, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the trash"

How about, "a job in hand is worth two possible recalls to the railroad at the bottom of the seniority list?"
