Well, all of the blues voted yes, so its hard to say that red is the solution for these workers

The blues also put forward the paid sick leave as a separate bill rather than putting them together. That's no coincidence, but a political strategy.

If I understand correctly, the blues also had some hand in negotiating the one-sick-day contract that the union members rejected. Biden at least claimed some credit for that, IIRC.
