They literally said he helped them great and they were satisfied bruh
Union Leadership said he helped them, the same one that is now stabbing labor in the back with an endorsement.
Thanks bruh. I'm sure the actual workers would disagree.
Got any proof of that then, bruh?
Now this is some leopards ate my face
I'm with you--folks already forget what he did with the rail workers?
Endorsing Trump would be ridiculous, but how about the unions endorse no one--can that be a thing?
You mean when he support the rail workers and fought congress undermining them? Why do leftist want to rewrite history to ensure people think it isn't a W for Biden and labor rights?
Any win by a liberal is a threat to the leftists, since their argument is based on the inability of liberals to govern
Yeah dude we get it, you hate liberals. Unfortunately you need them to get anything of material benefit done for working class people and minorities.
I was agreeing with you, I should have said "the perceived inability of liberals to govern"
Apologies, I missed the intention in my fervor lol
This comment is so disingenuous. Your link said guaranteed sick leave was the sticking point in December 2022:
The initial agreement brokered by the Biden administration was accepted by all but four rail unions, who were holding out for guaranteed paid sick leave days. The opposing unions, though, represent the majority of rail workers. The workers and companies had until Dec. 9 to reach an agreement before they vowed to strike, which the industry estimated would cost the U.S. economy $2 billion per day.
But five months later, it was resolved:
When Joe Biden and Congress enacted legislation in December that blocked a threatened freight rail strike, many workers angrily faulted Biden for not ensuring that the legislation also guaranteed paid sick days. But since then, union officials says, members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days.

Yea, five months after he very publicly shut down the strike, they quietly got a small part of what they were asking for. This isn't the w you think it is
Are you in a union? If not I'd understand why your upset. Anyone who is in one recognizes how good biden has been for labor in this country. Probably the best labor president since FDR even.
Source?
Then what is it? What happened? What are your sources? Substituting reality because you disagree with it will get you nowhere, champ.
Looks like a W to workers. Let's ask the rail workers who have increases of 24% how they like their new contract.
I assume this is the UAW leadership seeing that Biden would be better than trump, and so endorsing accordingly.
