Why exactly can they vote to prevent strikes? The whole point of a strike is to fuck over everyone in order to upset the business. You don't need permission to do that.
Also, holy shit at the paid sick days. That's bleak.
Re-read the article. It's about accepting a bill that would indirectly prevent the strike from happening if I understand correctly.
It seems the railroad companies + the gov are invoking a 1920s law that allows the gov't to force mediation, ie legally force the unions to do whatever they want.
Ah good ol gilded age. Counting to child labour making full return.
