Please explain this Railworkers situation to us Europeans like we are five.

I got so many Questionmarks right now. Why does the US Government vote on a negotiation between a private company and their workers? Does the Government vote on those negotations all the time and we just don't hear about it? Why can the Government mandate a compromise? Why can the US Government put people in Jail for striking? And for how long are they forbidden to strike? Why are there 12 Railroad Unions and not just one big one? Who takes on a Job where you don’t get a single payed sick day?  Also do you know that the concept of payed sick days doesn’t exist here? Get a doctors note and stay home if you are sick. You fake it and you get fired. Doctors fake it and they loose their license. But if you are sick you don’t have to worry about it.
