Are you done putting words in my mouth? What a weird one you are.

This carrot and stick approach is the Democrats' speciality, block the strike through legislation while also confusing the narrative and giving breadcrumbs for a small portion of the workers to sap the momentum and put worker against worker.

If you want so hard to know what should've happened (you don't really, you've already made up your mind about me), first off it should be up to the rail workers, but if I were one of them I'd recommend the strike go on despite any laws. The purpose of an union is to represent the will of all workers, not just the uplifted few or their politician buddies.
