    His rhetoric in labor has been a big improvement over the past 20 years. Too bad his policy involved literal strike breaking. No talking your way around that.

    you're allowed to decide to join a union but you're not allowed to leverage union power train-shining

    Funny how libs will call out Trump supporters for ignoring all of Trump's actions and only listening to the empty pleasantries he says to his supporters, but will then turn around and do the exact same thing with Biden.

      he's a strike buster and an environment terrorist.

    Ronald Reagan: "I'm going to de-unionize the FAA by firing every single member and forcing them to reapply for their old jobs or GTFO."

    Joe Biden: "Hey, Jack! I heard you filed for a union election! I'm going to blog about it, as the most pro-union president in American history!"

    The two genders.

    the ultimate win for the workers is when they're allowed to maybe bargain for a little bit, and maybe the president (the guy with the power to uplift the workers) congratulates you after the fact

    that's a workers movement right there.

    I love how these supposedly pro-labour libs conveniently ignore that Biden did, in fact, bust unions and break strikes too.

      Gim referring to himself as the most pro union president in history just sounds exactly the same as Trump describing himself as "your favorite president"

      Illicits an almost involuntary "will you just fuck off and die already"

    One paragraph form letter written by an unpaid intern is "tits out"? I wonder how my work ethic would rate on that scale

    Over time that would probably become too dangerous even for "union loving" parts of the government to allow. People getting organized in masses and becoming more class conscious can serve as a platform for more serious movements and revolutionary action to take place. People in the US are worlds away from being class conscious, but unionizing can only improve that.
