Max Alvarez (@maximillian_alv) and Mel Buer (@mel_buer) of The Real News Network (@TheRealNews) join the crew to discuss US rail workers' struggle for paid sick days and other markers of basic dignity. How did things get so bad, and how are railroad companies fucking over not just their own workers, but the economy in general? What could Biden and the Democrats have done to help, and what did they actually do?

Stay tuned for part 2, out Wednesday!
