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.

I found this thread pretty enlightening.
Ah ok there it is. Thanks.
Welcome.
I'm just going to repost a comment I made arguing with some lib about this some time ago:
I read the article and it is commendable that they continued to pressure the companies for sick days which they eventually approved. But an important question is: When did they grant it?
From what I can see, they granted workers paid time in May/June 2023. Better late than never.
But the Palestine railroad disaster happened in Februrary 2023. I’m willing to say that this event, in light of the lack of the strike, was what allowed for there to be enough pressure to make the train companies grant the sick days concession. I bet if it didn’t happen, there wouldn’t be sick days now. It would have just been better if the strike happened which could have led to sick days potentially without the Palestine incident (especially if they were on strike).
