The rail companies granted basically nothing. Biden and Congress (don't forget AOC!) broke the strike with raises below inflation and later there was a negotiation to get a milquetoast number of sick days for a bargaining unit that wasn't even trying to strike about them. The ones that were got nothing.
The capitalist politicians involved constantly lied about it and Americans know nothing about unions but do like team sports, so they rationalized it.
