Can a smart person explain what that bill means? The summary[0] reads like the government just saying "you'll take the existing terms and like it" (I didn't know that the government could do this). Is that the same thing as making it "illegal to strike" as the linked comment suggests?
How does all this work?

It's explained in the "whereas" clauses. The Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate interatate commerce, which is pretty much all they need. > Is that the same thing as making it "illegal to strike" as the linked comment suggests? Yes. The unions are being forced to accept the deal. The union now can now be held liable if they try to organize a strike. Unofficial strikes (wildcat strikes) are illegal in the US.
