Well, to work as an Amtrak employee, non-management wise, it's a closed shop, meaning you have to belong to the union representing your craft. Striking is out of the question, it's a long drawn out process and when it finally does come down to a strike, the Pres. of the USA steps in with the usual "you're vital to national security" (this had happened long before the 9-11 terrorist acts) and right back onto the job you go in less than 24 hours. You actually never had a chance to strike when that comes down from the president of the USA. <br /> <br />We're just being held hostage by the National Mediation Board, and, most are right to say "well, go find another job"., and, it's already happening. Moral is the worst then I've ever seen and with the advent of the railroad retirement being in jeopardy, a lot of 20 year plus employees will opt to leave the company.
