Don't link you evidence that the unions themselves thanked Biden for his help and they got what they wanted without striking?
One rich IBEW pencil pusher doesn't represent every rail worker. You know how we determine the will of that many people? Through voting and they voted against the contract Biden shoved down their throats.
he outlawed a rail strike and you want to link me a statement from an electrical union that opposed the strike from the beginning and always had sick days. And then I point out how not everyone got any sick days from this, the ones who did didnt get what they would have gotten from a strike, and outlawing strikes poisons any future union bargaining. Im tired of fuckin democrats coming in here to tell me how it was a good thing that the unions didnt get to collective bargain, they dont need any influence on labor because employers and the government have their best interests in mind.
Most of us rank and file union members think that he did what he had to do because inflation was already out of control and shutting down the railroads risked tipping the country into recession which would've guaranteed a "red wave" election in '22 as well as the reelection of Trump, both of which would be far more dire for working people.
Local 10 till I die!
"Leftist"/Dum-Dum left yet again being the most anti-labor aspects of the Democrat party despite waving union issues around, sadly. They are so fickle and searching for some wild thing to justify quitting & trying to hand the GOP a win at a moments notice. They won't put the work into listening to great workers like yourself & what it takes to get the job done.
You're the one celebrating a president for blocking a strike.
The are reasons for strikes and goals behind them. The strike isn't the thing they are after its a tactic for getting the deals labor wants. You have to follow the whole labor negogation and negogations didn't end because the strike was. The only hiccup was sick days and many of thd unions got that in the end.
You are looking for something superfical to be angry about.
Call it whatever you want. I'm not voting for Biden again.
