Biden has accomplished more in his time in office than Trump could have dreamed to. But that doesn’t make him a good president. He shut down a rail strike and told those people they don’t matter by forcing them back without rail companies meeting their demands. This is just classic “I support you” campaigning speak. He doesn’t really care

True, but from what I read not too long ago, they did finally get their vacation time, because apparently despite ending the strike, they kept working on the problem. I'm never sure how good or bad he is because he really doesn't toot his own horn, getting rail workers their vacation time was basically a back page article.
