UAW strike would test Biden's assertion he's the 'most pro-union president'
The prospect of an auto workers strike could test Joe Biden's treasured assertion that he's the most pro-union president in U.S. history.
You're viewing a single thread.
He'll be just as pro union as he was when he was cool with making rail strikes illegal.
He's a right wing capitalist same as the rest of the DNC. He will never back labor in any meaningful way.
I have family who works in the railroad and I can assure you that the vast majority do not appreciate what he has done, paid sick days are only a fraction of what needed to change
The unions that voted for it represent under half of affected workers, and those against it represent well over half.
Like 30% of Americans want to actively dismantle our government for a fascist theocracy, that doesn't mean they should get their way.
I've had enough of these pointedly disengenuous arguments.
You realize that a rail strike would cripple the US, skyrocket inflation, and create shortages all over, right?
Also that the unions overall didn't want to strike, but if everyone in all but the smallest rail union voted not to strike and the smallest one voted to with the smallest majority they could they'd all be obligated to?
By all means criticize as you feel it's appropriate, but be informed about how you do.
If the government can command workers back to work they can command the company take the union side contract. That is the problem. Not that he ended it but how it was ended. Lets end strikes like this by government enforcing the union demands.
I agree that's what should have happened. But if it was always on the union side it wouldn't take long for the right wing to start dismantling those protections.
Really if they're instrumental to national security they shouldn't be privatized either. But just like internet should be classified under the same utility regulations as electric et al, it's not gonna happen in the existing state of affairs.
this exactly. if its so important then they should be government jobs.

Almost as if that's the whole point of a strike or something lmfao
Pretty sure for people who aren't self important jackasses the point of a strike is to demonstrate to the upper parts of a company that the workers are a vital part of operations and force them into giving better conditions. Not actively making life worse for countless uninvolved people.
It's almost like you can't separate purpose and impact.
Criticizing people when you don't even understand how strikes work jfc. "I support labor so long as they don't cause any hiccups in day to day life" GTFOH bootlicker.
"If everybody but the smallest rail union" 8 out of 12 orgs agreed, but those 8 represent far less than half of the affected workforce. Fun how the people who love to shriek about "being informed" never know dick about dick.
If their jobs are so fucking critical we should probably take care of those employees, shouldn't we, instead of stripping their legal right to collective bargaining? It's neat how the slightest labor action or a single Mom being able to afford rent is always the base cause of inflation but years of ballooning pricing to brag about "record profits" have nothing to do with anything.
Eat my whole ass faschie.
I support labor so long as they don’t cause any hiccups in day to day life
