Biden went down to the UAW picket line and addressed them personally. I don't think it's really all that surprising that they backed his personally chosen replacement.
Biden also effectively sided with industry and against the labor unions in the 2022 railroad labor dispute. He’s not exactly squeaky clean here.
Not entirely correct. They did force the railroad workers back to work yes, but, Biden continued to work with them after the fact and got them the sick days and shit they were looking for
~~Sick day. One. They were asking for fifteen.~~
Incorrect.
4 + 3 convertible was the followup, the one day plus 14% pay increase and a further 24% guaranteed over 5 years was the early resolution.
Oh good to know! Thanks for info.
I just I want to thank you for helping correct that stupid piece of misinformation they get spread so much on here.
Nope. He only got them sick day(s). They wanted other things, mainly safety features so trains don't crash as often. The sick days part was the most emphasized because it's easier for laymen to understand, but Biden did not give them what they wanted.
I’m not certain what exactly they were originally looking for but my point is more that trying to paint Biden as some anti union traitor is plain not factual.
So he didn't get them the 14% raise with another 24% over the next 5 years? Did I dream that?
Okay, but we're talking about the UAW. He did them a solid, they're doing one in return.
This was during a time when the US was finally getting back on its feet and "supply chain" excuses were starting to fade away...he did everything he could to prevent those shutdowns from crippling us again.
