Paid sick leave was not the primary issue. The primary issue that the unions were striking about is "precision rail scheduling" which basically has rail workers on a 24/7 on call. They have no time off, and failing to answer a midnight or 4 am call to go to a train and drive it costs you your job. One of the reasons workers wouldn't answer a call was because they were sick, and had no sick days.
So, the main issue has not been resolved and the strike was broken before it even started, and this sick day thing is just a small concession that Biden got the rail companies to give
As others have said that wasn't rhe main point of contention.
After continuing to negotiate for mo ths with zero support from Biden some of the rail workers got some days off.
Or, as libs will shriek at you if you criticize Biden, Biden personally got every rail worker exactly what they asked for proving they didn't have to strike in the first place.

Damn. Then the mainstream media coverage of this whole thing was unsprisingly just straight up lies and deception.
