shutting down the rail strike was not being overall okay on workers' it was shitting all over them and the rest of the workers
just because a Democrat is the offender does not make it better than if a Republican did it
Definitely true. I acknowledged that as a black spot on his record, but that doesn't change that he was generally pro-worker and pro-union.
Stop repeating that BS. The Biden admin kept fighting for the workers even after Congress shut down the strike. The rail workers even thanked the admin.

Sick days were just one demand of many the unions wanted, and even then it fell short of what they had demanded. "We got them their demands later" is basically propaganda at this point.
They also got them a historic pay raise and other concessions. When the union that the president prevented from striking praises the president, it's not propaganda. This isn't some WH press release.

One union did that. Many others didn't.
Did he abolish the system that made accidents more likely and was the reason they striked in the first place?
Does the president have unilateral authority to make laws? How do you expect him to abolish that system without Congressional action?
It's not a legal system, but rather something the rail company (companies???) implemented. The workers were trying to get the company to abolish it by striking but Biden crushed the strike without giving them their central demand.
