b"Join a panel of rank-and-file railroad workers for a discussion of one of the most important struggles in recent labor history.\\n\\nRailroad workers are currently engaged in one of the most important struggles in recent labor history, in an industry that is at the heart of the functioning of society. The rail industry has seen massive deregulation, lean production, and persistent undermining of working conditions that have made the work all but intolerable.\\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------\\nJoin the Community Solidarity Committee! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSem9qSAGziUtRK9bn0WAGSxpOJ_C1eKsenf60yKsJyNDWYFow/viewform?usp=sf_link\\n\\nCheck out the Solidarity Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10sf8-y3CyBh5B9PEZeAw_MgyoMvVdNNNOJYzd4zIcNQ/edit?usp=sharing\\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------\\n\\nDespite enormous political pressure, railroad workers are fed up, evidenced by the sections of workers who are voting NO on a Tentative Agreement that they feel doesn't address the base safety and quality of life issues they are willing to strike over. Railroad Workers United (RWU), a cross-union democratic rank and file organization of railroad workers, has launched a Vote No Campaign, insisting that this Tentative Agreement offers very little given the conditions they face and the role they play in the economy. If the railroad workers lead a strike, it will have immediate implications - economically and politically - for every sector of US society. Most importantly for the labor movement, and for socialists and radicals within it.\\n\\nCome hear Railroad Workers United members speak about their struggle, the situation on the rails, and how you can get involved in efforts to support them. The success of this campaign is of urgent importance, and solidarity must be built.\\n\\nFeaturing: Engineers and conductors from Railroad Workers United, facilitated by Maximillion Alvarez from The Real News who has covered this struggle extensively. \\n\\nCo-Sponsored by: Railroad Workers United, Haymarket Books, and Many more.\\nView full list of co-sponsors here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ok2RkkD0TcNmNU8BGXbdeCPT7NRblpMckSbq1Djxq14/edit?usp=sharing.\\n\\nThis event is sponsored by Railroad Workers United and Haymarket Books.\\n\\nWatch the live event recording: https://youtu.be/7gU-Vj_-IqY\\n\\nBuy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org\\n\\nFollow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks"
