On Friday, Biden signed into law a bill that blocks railroad strikes and enforces a labor contract agreement on the railroad unions that does not include paid sick leave days. As a result, some railroad workers are extremely frustrated and upset with Biden, who has championed himself as a pro-labor president. They fear this will set a dangerous precedent that will undermine their ability to negotiate fair contracts with the railroad companies in the future. As a result of this new contract, railroad workers will receive back pay and bonuses in the immediate future along with pay increases. However, it is still unclear if the lack of paid sick days will cause an exodus of railroad workers from the industry.
