Just like when he ordered striking train workers to return to work after several derailments occurred
The train workers were striking primarily over wanting sick days. They got them on April 20, in part due to the Biden administration's continued efforts.
This was a pleasant surprise. I remember being highly disappointed in AOC when she voted to end the strike. She insisted that the Biden administration would stay focused on the sick day issue. I thought it was just political bullshit, and she was merely covering herself.
I was very happy when I found out that instead of caving in and becoming just another corrupt politician, AOC had actually been TELLING THE TRUTH!
