    From your own link:

    "On deadline day, the parties reached an agreement on an updated contract that included the biggest wage increases in 47 years. Over the next several weeks, while acknowledging that the agreement was less than perfect, the IBEW and several of its fellow coalition unions voted to ratify the agreement. A handful of others, however, did not, instead threatening a December freight rail strike.

    Biden, citing the potential economic impact of a national freight rail strike during the winter holidays, on Nov. 28 called on Congress to impose the emergency board’s agreement. "

    Which part of that is railworkers getting what they wanted? Which the biggest part was having 15 days of sick leave per year, in one of the most chaotic, health-destroying jobs there are in the US?
