No, forcing an unpopular contract on the workers is a sellout to the wealthy railroad bosses and the Chamber of Commerce.
Where can I see the congressional legislation?
Not yet created, but Biden has released the following statement that his intention is to force the workers to accept the contract they voted against because it doesn't address the problem with time off.

"I am calling on Congress to pass legislation immediately to adopt the Tentative Agreement between railroad workers and operators - without any modifications or delay - to avert a potentially crippling national rail shutdown."
"
...As a proud pro-labor President, I am reluctant to override the ratification procedures and the views of those who voted against the agreement. But in this case - where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions of other working people and families - I believe Congress must use its powers to adopt this deal."
