The Seven Days Paid Sick Leave Filibuster

"We knew that Congress would, under the terms of the railway labor act, would impose an agreement and put us back to work," she says. "The seven days sick leave, again, it's sort of a placebo for all the ills ... doing more work with fewer people" The railroads are in an interesting position because of this, like the National Railway Act, which gives Congress the leeway to intervene in labor disputes,. She asks: What does it say about these rail companies that they can't keep trains running if their employees get time like paid sick leave?
