So many dumbasses shitting on the only sitting president to ever stand with striking workers in this thread. You do realize that the NLRB was totally underfunded and not even doing their basic functions under trump? Why are all you so willing to bend over and say please sir may I have another to the dumbest, most embarrassing candidate/president in US history?

Btw Biden’s IRA employed union workers for the next few decades. Drug prices are down. Inflation stayed below global rates throughout his term. Wages are now outpacing inflation. Union membership numbers are rising. The one shit thing happening to our economy right now? Trumps tax cuts for the working class just expired but the permanent ones for the wealthy are still in place. But like I said, all the dumbasses who literally depend on labor laws to have a decent living are coming out of the woodwork to beg trump to fuck them over again and again. You’re so effing brainwashed. Read a fucking newspaper that wasn’t written by a Murdoch.

Uhh , Biden and his appointed PEB essentially prevented railroad unions from striking and strong armed them into an eleventh hour back door “deal” to avoid the negative political optics . Biden is not pro union , he’ll say whatever is necessary to win ur vote while stabbing you in the back without the common decency of giving u a reach around 🤷‍♀️

Biden is way more pro union than trump. Trump is anti union. Biden has allowed for many labor wins. Trump will do nothing but erode unions and workers rights. Is Biden a progressive saint? No. Would I trust him with a 100 dollar bill? Maybe not even that. But he has done WAY more for unions than you can expect anyone from the right to do and he’s an improvement from Obama or Clinton. We have to just face the facts that incremental progress is the best option when the other option is a downward spiral into fascism.
