How is breaking the railroad steike being pro union?
Or pushing legislation explicitly meant for busting up leftist orgs by stripping them of nonprofit status?
I remember the way I felt when the railroad strike first ended- it was a smack in the face to the railroad union. He sided against the protesters and ended the protest without giving them what they wanted- sick time off. I thought "dang, Biden is just another in a long line of anti-labor presidents".
That was big news posted loud and everywhere.
And then only a few months later, and with little fanfare, The Biden administration pressured rail companies to give that sick leave.
Biden (actually Pete Buttigeig) prioritized preventing an immediate logistics crisis over workering conditions, but he didn't just let it slide off his table. Now we don't have a logistics crisis and the railroad union has more sick leave. Absolute win.
