The Senate passed the bill 80-15 to put the contract into effect, avoiding a potentially catastrophic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-passes-legislation-to-avoid-a-nationwide-rail-strike-bernie-sanders-intends-to-block-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rail strike<\/a>. But the Senate blocked a provision that would have given workers seven days of paid sick leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday the Senate had the chance to stand up for railroad workers who frequently risk their lives and health on the job, just trying to support their families,\u201d Hawley said in a statement Thursday evening. \u201cInstead, the Senate sided with Joe Biden. Workers were asking for a handful of sick days per year. Biden and the Senate said no. I\u2019d like to know how many of the White House staff, and how many members of Congress and their staff, are still \u2018working remotely,\u2019 all while they deny railroad workers more than one day of sick leave a year. The House of Representatives, for heaven\u2019s sake, is still proxy voting\u2014with many members not showing up to work at all\u2014because of the Covid \u2018health risk.\u2019 But railroad workers can\u2019t have more than one day of sick leave. And it wasn\u2019t as if workers were asking Congress to intervene on their behalf. No, this was the White House and management and union bosses teaming up to use federal law to force workers to accept contracts they rejected in negotiations. And then people in DC wonder why working Americans think the system is rigged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday was also a chance for Republicans to stand up for working people and against the DC establishment,\u201d he added. \u201cThey missed it. But make no mistake, the people who put on overalls or pick up a shovel or stand on the assembly line every day are worth fighting for. And the Republican Party will have no future without them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today\u2019s rail vote was a significant one.
