Comment on The Democrats’ One and Only Union-Busting Governor: Jared Polis
WarlordSdocy@lemm.ee 4 days agoAs 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.

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.

Independent Bernie Sanders for continuing the Congressional pressure after Biden broke their strike.

Look I’m not a Biden fan, I think there’s plenty to criticize him for and I would vastly prefer Bernie for president. But critiquing him on this when he got the workers what they wanted while also avoiding a strike which would have negative impacts both to workers and other people sounds like a win win to me and exactly what the president should be doing. Yeah I definitely think going the route of not allowing them to strike is definitely not the best but he did follow through to get them what they wanted. Strikes should be a last resort if a company won’t give the workers what they want and if the president can step in and get them what they want without a strike that’s generally a good thing.
