President Joe Biden signed a bill into law making a rail strike illegal, preventing workers from walking off the job weeks before the holiday season.
The Democrats basically didn’t want to have a holiday rail strike on their hands. It would have been a disaster, politically. Unfortunately, railway union workers got the short end of the stick, much like in earlier rail strikes. I’ve been watching the /r/railroading subreddit since then. There has been some progress, but it hasn’t been the grand bargain that was desired out of a strike.
