President Biden is pushing Congress to block a pending nationwide rail strike and push through a contract deal that includes no sick days and is opposed by four of the 12 rail unions. Biden's latest request is an attempt to legislate us basically back to work, before we've even had a chance to strike," says locomotive engineer and Railroad Workers United organizer Ron Kaminkow. Workers should have the right to take off work for a reasonable amount for whatever reason they need it," says labor professor Nelson Lichtenstein, who urges the rail workers to strike anyway.
