OK, but be prepared for them to pick the wrong side

Yeah! Strike! Time to show these tuckers who has the power.

Oh this is very different from a UAV strike.

It’s the Unmanned Aerial Wehicle, it’s not that different.

Guaranteed that Biden would convince the rest of the Dems to override their rights, just like with the rail workers.
It’s frankly ridiculous that anyone still thinks he’s pro-labor. He’s on the side of management every time.

Are the people in charge of unions this naive, or is this is just a pandering political statement
Democrats are just a capitalistic spinoff to appeal to the left, and prevent any true left movement to gain steam

Doesn't the broken-by-Congress railroad strike demonstrate that Biden, et al. have already chosen their side, and that it isn't labor?

For who didn’t, it’s worth it to read the whole article. It’s this stuff that doesn’t make the news.

Thank you for posting this. I’m so tired of the rhetoric surrounding the rail strike.

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.

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.
