better pay. thursday, a potentially devastating strike was averted after railroad workers were finally able to reach an agreement with real companies. the tentative deal includes a pay hike and the right to take unpaid days off for doctors appointments without penalty. which should be pretty basic things, you d imagine. my panel is back with me to discuss. sacha, i want to start off with you here because, you know, this is a pretty big deal with a lot of the unionizing efforts we have seen from amazon, to starbucks, to other companies. and it really does punctuate the point that workers are not so grateful to have a job as much as they are, hey i provide a service, you prove pay me fairly for that service. what kind of influence will decide across the country? i think this is something that we will continue to see. people are looking for just basic needs in the workplace. so it goes beyond the paycheck. it is, allow me the freedom and the flexibility to be able to
