Enough people would be against a railroad strike and shutdown that it would have ripple effects across the board.

It seems perfectly reasonable for Bided to limit the leverage the union have for providing an essential service. It's a pretty simpleton take to say forcing a settlement is anti-working class. The working class is only going to have but so much support for striking railroad workers who are turning down a raise that will give them an average salary of $110k plus strong pension benefits, when it is impacting millions of others lives and jobs.
