There are going to be a select group of people on the Left who will use and manipulate the story with the railroad workers to try to get people to turn on Biden. Let’s forget all the other things that he’s done. Let’s forget the absolute shit show that is the other side. That one issue is somehow enough to convince certain people to no support Biden.
Of course many of those people are being disingenuous with their arguments because like like 4 years ago and just like 8 years ago, there are a lot of “bad actors” sponsored by foreign governments who are trying to spread misinformation and apathy online to get Trump into office. The FBI has been warning us about this for years now, but few take it seriously and almost no one thinks that some of the people they are interacting with online are indeed foreign agents, but that is a very real reality.
the workers have gotten mostly what they were after.
Imagine living in a world where you wanted 15 days of paid sick leave and only get 1 and people on the internet count that as “getting mostly what you were after.” I guess if I go to a restaurant and order a steak and the waiter comes over and spits a hunk of old shoe leather in my mouth I should feel grateful since that’s “getting mostly what I was after.”
You’re just spreading incorrect and out of date information here. Here’s a quote from the union Railroad Department Director Al Russo with the IBEW:
“We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."
Also from your article it says that they get their 7 sick days:
That pressure, plus the IBEW’s ongoing efforts, is paying off at last. The IBEW and BNSF Railway reached an agreement April 20 to grant members four short-notice, paid sick days, with the ability to also convert up to three personal days to sick days. The union reached similar understandings with CSX and Union Pacific on March 22, and with Norfolk Southern on March 10. Unused sick time at the end of a year can be paid out or rolled into a worker’s 401(k) retirement account.
I guess that’s pretty good for the US, in my state I can get up to 40 hours of sick leave per year. And I can take PTO to cover additional absences, whether those are sick days or something else. So what the railroads got from the extended White House lead negotiations with the rail carriers is fairly typical leave package for a progressive state.
And of course, compared to a Republican state what they got is just an amazing benefits package!
He worked with the railroads after and the workers have gotten mostly what they were after.
