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.”
. “They demand the basic dignity of paid sick days. I stand with them. If Congress intervenes, it should be to have workers’ backs and secure their demands in legislation.”. “What we're seeing is an inhumane deal being pushed onto workers even after a majority voted it down. If we are a pro-labor party, we must stand up for them. They need paid sick leave now.”in a tweet last week
