Preach! Biden also nullified the collective action of the union with the most sway in the flow of goods in the United States and forced a contract upon them. He never closed down those immigrant detention centers that were headline news for years under Trump. The two main parties work together, two hands, one with a velvet glove.
That railroad union thing he followed through on and got them what they wanted.
I hadn’t heard about that either, and it was on my list of reasons why I fucking hate him, but that one thing he actually took care of in the aftermath.
Still bypassing Congress to send even more weapons to the Israelis though, so…
Edit: here is what you are talking about, glad the democratic process of the union on voted on this. https://www.railwayage.com/news/amtrak-ns-ratify-agreements-with-unions/
It doesn't negate the fact that Biden took away their most effective collective bargaining tool, a strike. It makes their ability to go to the bargaining table for what they want a lot harder. There is still a lot they did not get in this contract.
