Didn't Biden sign a law forcing an entire sector into a labor contract that was rejected by all the unions?
After the railroad workers were forced to end their strike, the Biden administration and the union continued working on the problem and on April 20 the workers got the sick day agreement they demanded. It's not like they were just dropped by the administration. While I do grant that breaking the strike was not great, it's not as if that was the end of the story.
The railroads don't agree, bot I don't really know about it
That article is older than the recent agreement that got the sick days. So sentiments may not be the same.
