President Biden's warm relationship with labor unions is coming under strain, as he pushes Congress to avert a looming railway strike.
, The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division said it was"deeply disappointed" in Biden's position.
“This became a glaring issue during the pandemic, when we had members who were forced by their employers, the railroads, to stay home and quarantine without pay,” Baldwin said. “But really it comes down to simple things like the flu for a day or two, or a sick child, and the ability to take a day or two paid.”
"Railroad workers grind themselves to the bone for this country as their labor produces billions for Wall St," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., ."Forcing workers to come in sick and exhausted is irresponsible and dangerous. Railroad workers keep our country moving, and we cannot continue treating them like they are expendable."
