railroad strikes

Railroad strikes occur when railroad workers collectively decide to stop work to demand better pay, improved working conditions, or other benefits. These strikes can disrupt the movement of goods and passengers, impacting the economy and daily life. Employers and unions often negotiate to reach an agreement, but if negotiations fail, workers may choose to strike as a form of protest. Such actions are protected by labor laws in many countries but can lead to legal and economic consequences. Overall, strikes are a way for workers to leverage collective bargaining power to influence industry policies and improve their conditions.
