It might. But it carries weight with the NMB.

We're in a new day. A new age. Post COVID age. We need to get the language fixed all the way this time (not some - we'll get the rest later crap).
I fully expect to strike. In fact, I've been mentioning on here all along that if there were ever a company that is in the absolute correct position/situation - it's us. We're small (lower market share), we're the lowest paid w/ some of the worst benefits and have had that since 9/11 and bargained in good faith last time. And, we'll probably have a pro-labor president.
If the govt won't allow us to strike, then the NMB/Railway Labor Act doesn't work.

I think that this USED to be true...

But it wasn't the governments fault. Blame is only on Robin and Ted.

Obama also shut down a railroad strike due to its effect on commerce. By coincidence, most airline strikes have occurred under Republican administrations. The party in power makes no difference, it's all about market share and how much a particular strike will disrupt the market and anger voters. Either party would block a strike by the big 3, both would probably allow a smaller company such as Frontier or Allegiant to strike.
