Pay attention, it's free

Check with the rail carriers as to who will not grant medical time off

It ain't up to Biden. It's between BNSF, Union Pacific, Amtrak, and other rail carriers, and their employees.
The unions are good, and bad in my opinion.
In this case, shut it down. 7 days of sick leave isn't too much to ask.
Also, work/life balance.

I'm not sure either, but I do know some railroad workers, and the only life they have is the company.
Yeah, they make good money, insurance, and all that, but they have no life. When they're told to go, they go.
At the same time, it isn't for Biden to say a Damn thing about negotiations between the union, and the company.
Let em strike.

Yeah they say the men make about $60,000 a year and the woman about $40,000 a year. Remember Biden was bragging that he stopped the unions from going on strike.

Well, now, he's wanting to override the union.

Ain't it kind of funny how the l*****ts always scream about jobs being unionized until it might hurt them?
Now, they want control of the jobs, and FK the union.

Where I live the unions are so corrupt they don’t even hide it

Oh, it's the same here. I'm a union member simply because I don't want the company abuse. They will use, and abuse those they can. The union is the firewall betwixt, and between.
I've never been a fan, and I agree with the corruption.
However, some companies will work you to death without regard to your personal needs.

I work for the USPS, and without our union, I could be worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week under the threat of losing my job, insurance, retirement, and much more.
I get it. Unions were good at one time, and still can be. But, I'm not a fan.

Hypothetical: If Starbucks unionized, and threatened to strike, how many politicians would scream from the rooftops?
That, after telling them to unionize.
