Joe Biden wants congress to prevent a rail strike by forcing the union to accept the terms offered by the robber barons. The workers just want better sick days and a raise, but the terms Biden wants them to accept include insane restrictions like scheduling sick time off 30 days in advance and only on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Also, that's only like one day a year. The raise is 24%, but they haven't had one since 2019 and the inflation is like 19% since then so it's barely a raise.
Biden COULD force the companies to accept better work conditions for employees, but that would hurt their ability to give themselves $200M bonuses.

Here's an insane thought... Too many people drive at night. Hell, too many people drive.

Of course crushing workers has bipartisan support. It's literally all they agree on. And it's the only time either party acts with any speed.
