Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the majority of lawmakers who backed passing the legislation that notably did not include provisions for paid sick leave. A separate measure that also passed the House Wednesday, however, did include such provisions by giving rail workers seven paid days of sick leave each year.
"If Congress intervenes, it should be to have workers' backs and secure their demands in legislation," she tweeted. In another tweet responding to a union that thanked her for backing rail workers' pleas for paid sick leave provisions, Ocasio-Cortez wrote "Stay strong" and "we've got your back."
A lot of media outlets are wrongfully saying that AOC voted against the back to work bill, but if you check the House Clerk website it's clear that she voted "Yea".

The 7 days resolution is a correction to the bill that the article is referring. The main bill is H.J. Res. 100 which blocks the strike. The second bill is H. Con. Res. 119 which adds 7 days of sick leave to the main bill. I believe both have to pass for the 7 sicks days to go into effect.
Main bill:

Correction bill:

It's a separate "correction" bill because it can and will be voted down without consequence. Voting for the Never Going to Pass Vacation bill doesn't cancel out voting for the Get Back to Work bill.
That second bill will never get pass the filibuster. This is the bbb scam all over again. As I said, just strike, American govt are a performative clown joke of a show
