1. weak sauce

Note, I ONLY listened to the remarks about sick leave for rail workers, but Biden is dropping the ball IMO. He said twice that "we negotiated an agreement without sick leave and all the unions signed on" as though they pulled a switcheroo and are not bargaining in good faith, then immediately followed with "only four or five unions didn't agree." Well, then they didn't all sign on, did they?

He also says "we're gonna get it done (sick leave) but not in this agreement." That's the excuse that rail workers have had to accept for decades, it never "gets done", but if he means it he can veto the bill and send it back to congress to add sick leave RIGHT NOW. This is not how you stand with workers. They deserve sick leave and Biden needs to put their demands on the front burner. He needs to drag the rail industry through the dirt 24/7 until they take their heads out of the Gilded Age of robber barons and do what's right for American workers.

2. So he didn't answer the question. Okay.

And when does he think mandated paid sick leave is going to pass Congress?
