UAW strike would show Biden, other leaders that it's time to 'pick a side,' union boss says
Doesn't the broken-by-Congress railroad strike demonstrate that Biden, et al. have already chosen their side, and that it isn't labor?
Thank you for posting this. I'm so tired of the rhetoric surrounding the rail strike.
Its always IBEW
Not a union that had and still has strike-worthy grievances, or a major union within the railroad industry. Has made a great pro-Biden press piece though.
Yep. I was hoping someone would comment this. He didn't want to take an economic hit right before the midterms, so broke the strike but also essentially made the reailroad give concessions.
Source: union trying to spin a measly 4 sick days in an entire year as a complete victory while giving Biden oversized credit for merely APPOINTING the people who did all the work.
While he DOES deserve a little credit for appointing good pro-union people to the relevant posts, this wasn't his doing.
The only thing HE did personally was use his influence as president to effectively strip them of their hard won right to strike by forcing them to (provisionally, but still) accept a bad agreement from his owner donors in the corrupt rail industry.
Media cycles have broken people's memory.
