> A wake up call, you say?

Yes...? A wake up call is for people who don't realize something is a big deal. In quite literally every wake up call situation, someone thinks it's obvious. "Wake up" meaning "it's been in front of you this whole time, and you can't see it". The article is not targeting railroad workers, its for lawmakers, constituents, or anyone who will listen and Isn't thinking about it

The point being made above is, I believe, that the wake-up call was two months ago during the rail strike.

It is all too clear to those who were paying attention during the strike how hard the Biden admin tried to suppress any public understanding about the actual concerns of the rail workers.
