There are no paid sick days under the tentative deal after unions asked for 15 and railroads settled on one personal day.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, one of four unions that voted against the contract, objected to Biden's call to Congress to intervene, saying "the railroad is not a place to work while you’re sick.
It’s dangerous.... it is unreasonable and unjust to insist a person perform critical work when they are unwell."
