  • You're clearly not supporting him when you're bitching about him on social media, regardless of who you vote for.

  • He's not a fucking dictator, he's subject to checks and balances and is limited by what he can actually do.
    Sorry you didn't get everything on your wish list immediately, that's how democracy works, compromise and incremental change.

    If you want to defeat the fascist, support Biden! That's literally the reason he's running.

  • Remember what happened when the air traffic controllers tried to strike and shut down the country's airports? Anti-union sentiment, Federal Unions outlawed, a wound they still haven't recovered from. Biden was trying to avoid an outcome like this, quite astutely. If they had shut down the nations economy with a railroad strike he would have gotten the blame and unions would have been set back decades.

  • You're bitching about things he's trying to fix. Blaming him for not doing what he's doing. A vote for anyone else will worsen all of those issues you listed.

  • He then went on to apply pressure to the railroads in order to get them everything they wanted without striking.

    The IBEW sums up his many accomplishments for unions:

    Throughout his first term, President Biden has been a steadfast ally of unions and American workers. I am confident that support will continue in his second term. The Biden-Harris administration has consistently advanced policies that empower workers, created opportunities for everyday people, and promoted the well-being of working families. As a direct result of these efforts, the Biden-Harris administration has overseen robust economic growth, increased worker wages and the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years.

    President Biden's dedication to unionism has spurred tangible wins for IBEW that will lead to good union jobs and stronger communities for decades. Without President Biden and Vice President Harris, we simply would not have the pro-union, pro-worker policies included in the American Recovery Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and Science Act. Significantly, President Biden’s strong leadership saved IBEW pensions – a benefit every worker should enjoy – through the enactment of the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act.

    Within the first week of taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris began appointing into the administration union officials who have dedicated their lives to advancing the labor movement's core principles and worker’s rights, including a card-carrying union member for Secretary of Labor and a chief counsel for the NLRB who supports collective bargaining.

    President Biden has issued executive orders to reverse policies that have eroded unionists' strength for decades, including industry-recognized apprenticeship programs (IRAPs) and rules that gutted federal employees’ collective bargaining rights. And then the Biden-Harris Administration went on the offense: mandating project labor agreements (PLAs) on federal construction projects, establishing the first-ever White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, and ensuring that skilled American workers benefit from historic federal investments.

    President Biden has a proven record of fighting to strengthen labor laws and protecting workers' rights to organize and collectively bargain, which has led to a resurgence in union membership and power of the labor movement.

  • Imagine throwing away your life, your credibility, your successful business built over years, to support Donald Trump's baseless conspiracy theories. Mike got exactly what he deserved.

  • This is the problem, Biden is a historically pro-union president and people don't seem to recognize it. His appointments to the national labor board are responsible for the resurgence of unions were seeing.

  • Don't link you evidence that the unions themselves thanked Biden for his help and they got what they wanted without striking?

  • Their capacity to wage war is going to severely diminish when they run out of young people

  • If you find a source, please share it

  • Yet it's not labeled as such, this seems like bad journalism.

  • General Winter has joined the Ukrainian army.
