Biden prevented economic shortages and then turned around to help that union get the sick leave benefits they wanted anyway.
Calling Biden anti-labor is the fucking joke. Even if you disagree on the strike, he did it to prevent economic chaos, not hurt labor.
Your summary is disingenuous. Economic shortages were to be caused by railroad shareholders, not the unions.
biden prevented and even illegalized a movement that could have been just as big or bigger than the labour movement.
the economic impact gets them precisely where it hurts: rich peoples pockets. thats how you really get what you want, not by begging.
the 30hr workweek, or the fairer healthcare us people want so bad? yes, that big.
Biden didn't address the actual concerns. The points system is still in place, the "sick leave" has to be scheduled in advance.
