YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWorkers are voicing their frustration after President Joe Biden, on Friday, signed a congressional resolution, under the existing Railway Labor Act, that forces rail workers into a new contract, averting a strike. While the act of forcing a contract onto workers is a problem in itself, it was a contract that didn't even include the 7 paid sick days that would've been an easy addition and win for Biden.
