  Care to explain that one?

  I’ve got no particular love for Biden beyond him being better than the alternative (although he’s made some pretty strong pro-union moves lately). I just haven’t heard of this stuff.

    Biden has been collecting checks from and acting on behalf of corporations and executive side industry lobbies his entire career and strongarmed Congress into violating the rights of and defang railway workers by passing a bill ending their strike.

    although he’s made some pretty strong pro-union moves lately

    No he hasn’t. People more pro union than him that he hired at the advice of other people more pro union than him (and the people that work for them)have.

    Don’t be like the establishment media by giving him the credit that Lauren McFerran and the rest of the NLRB have earned.

      “We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

      Imagine pretending to care about unions enough to act all pissed on their behalf but not caring enough to just Google what the outcome was.

        Imagine pretending that the IBEW speaks for all railworkers because they and one other of the dozen unions involved accepted a crappy deal and has a leader who loves kissing neoliberal ass.

        Here’s over 500 labor historians disagreeing in an open letter.
