The train workers were striking primarily over wanting sick days. They got them on April 20, in part due to the Biden administration's continued efforts.
This was a pleasant surprise. I remember being highly disappointed in AOC when she voted to end the strike. She insisted that the Biden administration would stay focused on the sick day issue. I thought it was just political bullshit, and she was merely covering herself.
I was very happy when I found out that instead of caving in and becoming just another corrupt politician, AOC had actually been TELLING THE TRUTH!
