Because the government continued to work to get the rail workers what they wanted, but shitting down the economy would have hurt everyone, at a time when everyone was already hurting financially.
Context matters, try to pay attention to all of it.
Rail workers did not get what they wanted, you are parroting shitlib lies. Anyone advocating to save capitalism at the expanse of the working class is a class traitor
No one is advocating “saving capitalism” stop being so overly dramatic. You realize that after several years of already being tapped out financially, causing more financial hardship for most of the rest of the working class doesn’t help anyone, right?
No, you clearly can’t grasp that simple concept. Fucking the entire working class to help get a few extra sick days for a few dozen working class - when you can continue negotiating that without the economic cataclysm - is idiotic.
Every single right won in this country has been to the detriment of some people, and people have suffered in the short term, but in the end, things come out better for everyone. With this type of mentality we would still have 7 day work weeks, no overtime, no paid vacation, all the benefits that were won by labor in the early 1900s wouldn’t exist
Sure, but it’s mostly been the rich who was at a detriment, not the entire working class…right after suffering another financial hardship. You keep ignoring my entire point, because you think people can eat their principles.

Biden is a strike busting scab
Biden went back to get the rail workers sick days like he said he would. Why lie?
You’re repeating the same lie that the entire strike was about sick days. It’s not his or the governments job to force a union contract on labor.
Putting millions of working class Americans in financial peril is also bad. Can we agree on that? Or do you think people can eat their principles?

Short-term suffering has a lot less impact on the well being of people than long term suffering to protect the status quo.
It’s idiotic for the ruling class. It’s exactly how you cause a general strike across the country and bring the ruling class to its knees
