Biden subverted the workers' rights to strike, it doesn't matter what the outcome was. Unions have the right to strike anytime for any reason and no President should have the legal authority to interfere in negotiations for any reason, point blank.
The railworkers strike set precedent that strikes could only happen if the President wanted them to, which is a really fucking awful thing to do. But I'd expect no less from a neolib.
See this is exactly what I'm talking about here. First the ignorance and thinking that set of precedent and not the hundred years that has come before it. Then the concept of no it doesn't matter the results. Just the arrogance of saying results don't matter when it comes to governance. This is the problem in a nutshell right here.
Okay so best case scenario is that Biden didn't do anything to change union rights in America and followed the past 100 years and worst case is that he showed that not even the dems actually support workers right to strike? Am I following you right? The president isn't the daddy of America. You fuckers talk all the time about how "Joe Biden doesnt control the economy" when he literally stepped into a private negotiation to force people back to work. It was illegal when Raegan did it and it was illegal when Biden did it.
It doesn't matter the results. Biden subverted the workers' rights to strike. He could've gotten them 10x more than they were petitioning for and it would've still been a disaster for unions in the long-term. Union rights aren't subject to the whim of whoever is sitting in the Oval Office.
