Should Joe Biden have allowed a national railroad strike to happen, potentially at great cost to the US economy? Yes. If that is what the workers wanted, then yes.
The truth is that the railroad workers know their position in the economy all too well and expected the government to end a strike quickly if they let it go at all.
The big disappointment is that Biden and Congress choose the company’s proposals as the basis for the imposed contract instead of the Union’s demands on time off, staffing, and safety.
In fact the companies were counting on it, which is why they never moved from their outrageous demands in negotiations.

Of course it doesn’t. But watch what happens if the thread gets significant participation.
