12-02 FRI Senate Votes to Impose Contract on Rail Workers, Rejecting Paid Sick Leave Another measure, which would have added seven paid sick days, failed to break a filibuster after 42 Republican senators and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin opposed it. Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders spoke from the Senate floor ahead of Thursday’s vote. Sen. Bernie Sanders: “And yet, today in that industry, workers who do difficult and dangerous work have zero paid sick days. Zero. You get sick, you get a mark against you. Couple of marks, you get fired.

All 435 House congress members and 100 senators are entitled to unlimited paid sick leave. President Biden, who pledged as a candidate to be the “most pro-union president” in U.S. history, has promised to sign the unpopular deal into law. https://www.democracynow.org/2022/12/2/headlines
