        After delegitimizing strikes (in the US) universally, Biden got them 4 days (instead of 15) and failed to address any other grievances of the workers. I wouldn’t say that equation balances out, exactly.

      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.

      Wow he got them 4 whole sick days!

      They were demanding 15 days.

      Fuck anti-union Biden.
