the economy would be fine if the owners would just give these guys a few sick days.

agreed. we can recognize that all news outlets have an inherent bias without getting all MAGA about it.

I'm sure you're right about that. I just think that looking only at the sick leave vote really buries the lede, which is that every democratic senator except 6 (7 if you count Bernie) and most of the Republicans voted bulldoze collective bargaining and force workers back to work.
How can people cheer on Amazon and Starbuck unionization, and then at the same time be totally OK with this?

^ this is important context. Toomey is a sack of shit, but he is a sack of shit who wasnt going to force workers to take a contract they didn't agree with. You can say he only wanted to cause chaos to make Biden look bad (which is probably true), but you can't cast those other 85 votes as worker-friendly.
imagine getting outflanked from the left by a fucking hedge fund stooge like Toomey. this is the state of American politics.
