    I read this article but didn’t see, mind helping me get clarity?

    What I read from the article is that the companies wouldn’t give in to the unions’ demands, Biden forced the unions to keep working but then kept pushing(?) for the demands of the unions’.

    What powers does the president have to force / encourage the rail companies to adopt the demands of the unions? How did Biden keep pushing? What does pushing mean in this context?

      I am surmising that he put pressure on the companies by constantly talking to them and being a type of mediator. I wish the article gave details, but it is so hard to find anything on this. Everything that is Googled is just about congress stopping the strike and not this.

      I wish I knew more as well, but I am satisfied that the railworkers are sated and are talking well about Biden and his admin.

        Frustrated is too small a word for the feeling of having a question that should have a readily available answer
