Bad! Hopefully the Congress imposes the paid leave in the deal. Otherwise very bad!
I'll clarify here that I totally agree that a rail-strike would be catastrophic. But a refusal to allow just 7 days of paid sick leave is shocking intransigence for some of the America's most important and hard working laborers (reflects horribly on management). Congress has the power to implement this and should, if they don't, I understand why they would choose to strike and they are well within their rights to do so, though that's not a decision anyone should take lightly.
