The bill in question invokes the RLA, but specifically forces management and labor to accept a deal agreed on by a technical majority of related labor groups (that notably represents less than half of affected workers.)
Because they're forced by law to "accept" the new contracts, any organization/strike actions would not be legally recognized as such and therefore not protected as such - hence, "illegal."
