Yep. I was hoping someone would comment this. He didn’t want to take an economic hit right before the midterms, so broke the strike but also essentially made the reailroad give concessions.
When people strike, they do not unyieldingly demand 100% of what they asked for initially. It is a negotiation. They negotiate. While 50% is not ideal, it is progress and pretty decent concessions.
Less than 50%, 28% to be precise. That’s just the sick days, if we include all the other things they were asking for, they got less than 10% of what they asked for.

Less than 50% of what they were seeking though, it’s a concession, not a victory. They got 4 whole days, wow, such good.
