No, it’s not a “make enough “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue, a work life balance issue.
Many railroad workers are On Call. 24/7/365. There are no days off. Scheduling time off for doctors visits dental appointments, hell let alone an afternoon off for personal time ends up costing the employee points against them. Enough points acquired in a period of time and they’re fired. We want sick days. PTO. That’s what the disagreement is about.
