‘We Never Stopped Applying Pressure’: Hard-Fought Success on Rail Sick Days
www.ibew.org
After months of negotiations, the IBEW’s Railroad members at four of the largest U.S. freight carriers finally have what they’ve long sought but that many working people take for granted: paid sick days.

Apparently they got what they were going to strike for in the end anyway?

I dont understand this situation at all, so I wanted to run it all by you all since Biden breaking the strike was a breaking point for many of you. But my friend (who is nominally a leftist, but a baby one and a lesser-evilism friendly one) uses this statement as a defense against the idea that the strike break should be levied against Biden the way it has been.

So what are your thoughts?

    Also important to note that even if the admin DID get everything the union wanted, the actions of the administration would still be unforgivable as they were taken to break the power of unions and prevent further strike actions from other unions. Defanging unions is very popular with DNC types since they quit listening to them or bothering to get their votes more than a decade ago.
