Even though the strike was broken, the union (and the Biden administration) continued fighting for it and now they have their sick days. This happened back in April.
That's the point, Biden is still a capitalist croney, he may have resolved the issue for these people, and for anyone who cares to look deeper he looks like the good guy for going on to get them their demands, but in the grand scheme he just silenced a large modern union movement and took it out of the limelight so as to discourage other union activity.
So he would have been a better union ally if he had not gotten the union sick days?
He would have been a better union ally if he let them strike. You're not a hero for tossing a couple bandages at someone you just shot.
Why are you being deliberately disingenuous?
