    Union leadership didn't ask her, they simply "agreed" with the plan, or so she claims, the rank and file want 14 days and their right to strike

    AOC and every other member of the house knew the 7-day compromise would fail in the senate, the point was to provide 48 hours of political cover for the strike-breaking congress just pulled

      Also everyone should be aware that AOC co-opts (and misrepresents) labor shit she isn't actually involved in. Talk to ALU folks in NYC.
