As much as I dislike Joe Biden he did actually do a good job there of making sure the workers got their demands without having to strike. The union even ended up thanking him for it a while after all the media attention died down on it.

“One and only?” Joe Biden literally busted the railroad union just a few years ago and the majority of the dems/dnc supported it. I smell some re-writing of history up in here.

This is completely untrue. The workers did not have a choice on any of the demands (hence reason for striking) or the settlement. They had no choice. To me, that is not a good job. You sound like a neo-liberal.

Here’s some links directly from the unions thanking Biden for working with the unions after the strike was blocked to get them what they wanted.

And they thanked… Drumroll…
Independent Bernie Sanders for continuing the Congressional pressure after Biden broke their strike.

He continued to negotiate for those workers even after stopping the strike (which is not union busting, the union still exists). You’d have been nothing when prices shot up even more if he let the railroads shut down, too, I bet

The key word being governor. Joe was a senator and president, NOT a governor

Does it really matter? They are all the DNC…union busters.

Do words and their meanings matter? Yes.
