Why does everybody post this tidbit but not the fact that the White House continued working with the rail companies after all of the strike talk and the Tentative Agreement and many rail workers got sick time as well?
I’m not speaking to their stance on unions, just the fact that the President’s job is to represent their constituency, just like all politicians. An economic crash due to a rail shutdown doesn’t benefit any person in the US.
I support unions and workers right to strike but at the cost of potential economic collapse?
I think more focus should be given to the lack of visible support on pro union/worker legislation.
The problem is that if you’re willing to sacrifice the good of the minority for the stagnation of the masses, everyone is going to suffer. Because the majority is just a conglomeration of lots of different minorities. So no matter the issue, you’re one chopping block away from being sacrificed for the sake of maintaining the status quo.
Breaking the strike didn’t make anyone’s life better… just made it less inconvenient for people who wouldn’t benefit from the strike.
Biden already chose a side when it comes to unions. Ask the rail road workers.
