One barrier a lot of #transportation folks have when talking about #jobs #WorkforceDevelopment and #labor is that it’s usually framed as a performance metric or a boring line - ignoring that they’re talking about people, about workers.

Another barrier is the ingrained, usually unexamined, anti-union philosophical underpinnings.

Likely because many transportation folks are from the #ProfessionalManagerialClass and don’t identify as workers. And believe that #unions are for the trades.
