        Holy fuck, stop repeating this bullshit people. The IBEW voted for the original contract with 1 sick day. They’re a small part of the railworkers and weren’t one that wanted to strike in the first place. And they absolutely did not get everything they wanted. They wanted 15 days! Congress tried to give them 7! Biden got them 4. Nevermind the non-sick day asks.

        Unions deserve the right to accept or reject their own contracts, not wait for a third party to decide what’s reasonable.

        You think 4 sick days a year is “everything they asked for”? Really?

          It’s most of what they asked for, actually, which is a sad indictment of the initial state of affairs

          They wanted 7.
