I'm a union worker and I'm dismayed at the amount of my union brothers who vote for pieces of shit like this. Who buy into their bullshit and actually think that conservatives will help them. Talk about voting against your own interests. If you're in a union, voting for conservatives is just stupid
God, imagine if Biden had backed the railroad unions... Ahh, what might have been.
The stupidity of that decision still amazes me to this day. "Railroad safety and efficacy during the shipping crisis? No! Let the monopolistic railroads regulate themselves, fuck their workers!"
Canada's gov't just did the same thing last week. I swear to god if any one of them sends out Labour Day emails or tweets they'll be roasted within an inch of their political lives.
He did. After blocking the strikes his administration stepped in to negotiate for the unions and got them most of what they wanted.
I guess I meant fully backed? I'm referring to the thing Biden didn't do when he had the chance, to prove how pro-union he is.
What thing?
Thing that he didn't do was fully back the union in the way that I meant. No schedule changes, no predictability, no sick days. No alarm at what is apparently a nationally vital resource being run poorly by people whose sole motivation is shareholder profits.
The concessions they got were paltry in comparison and it's honestly fucking shameful that we treat people this way.
