Biden just knifed labor unions in the back. They shouldn’t forget it
"People will point out that strikes are disruptive. Yes. That’s the point. A rail strike would be so disruptive that the rail companies probably would have given up the sick days to prevent it – and if they didn’t, the White House could have weighed in on the side of the workers to make them. Instead, it did the opposite..."

Yes, but as the op-ed I linked to pointed out:
"rescuing hope for those workers fell to Bernie Sanders and to progressives in the House, who forced congressional leaders to move a separate bill to guarantee the sick leave they were asking for. As usual, it was the Left that went to the trouble of fighting for labor after the party’s mainstream sold it out for the sake of convenience."
Not Biden's doing
There were no illusions inside the White House that the decision to call on Congress to impose a negotiated labor agreement on railroad workers and operators would be universally well received, several officials said.
Given the definition of "equivocation" ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/equivocation) I am at a loss as to what "false equivocation" might be.
I tend to discontinue participation in conversations which have descended into incoherent word salad...or perhaps I should say #IncoherentWordSalad
