President Biden says fight for more paid sick leave was not over but rail workers still concerned about quality of life
Rail workers are speaking out after Congress voted last week to avoid an industry strike that could have had catastrophic economic consequences.
BNSF railroad conductor Justin Schaaf told The Associated Press that he had to choose between getting a cavity filled or attending his son’s 7th birthday party.
“Ultimately I decided to take the day off for my kid’s birthday party,” he said. “Then when I am finally able to get into the dentist four, five, six months later, the tooth is too bad to repair at that point, so I have to get the tooth pulled out.”
Schaaf said that if he had the option of taking a sick day, he “would have never been in that situation” and said recent actions by Congress were discouraging but not surprising.
On Friday, President Biden signed bipartisan legislation, congratulating lawmakers for helping to avert “what could have been a real disaster.”
The president acknowledged that more work needs to be done.
“Look, I know this bill doesn’t have paid sick leave, that these rail workers and, frankly, every worker in America deserves. But that fight isn’t over,” he said.
