“Dan Osborn, the independent Nebraska Senate candidate”
I keep saying columnists say Joe Biden is the most pro labour president ever or similar things, what exactly does that mean? What has he done that they’re referring to with these claims?
I believe the regulatory power of the NLRB has expanded some during his tenure. At the same time, however, Biden heavy-handedly intervened in the rail strike, the Federal Reserve has manipulated interest rates to “discipline labor”, and Biden’s sanctions and tariffs exploit rifts in the international solidarity of workers while failing to substantially increase production or employment domestically. The Juduciary are also making moves to weaken the NLRB and other regulatory bodies, and the Executive and Congress are not using their substantial powers to stand up to them.
The claims are cherry-picked bullshit, is what I’m saying
Yeah. I see lots of people mention the railway strike thing as a positive, but I’m like… the workers didn’t get all the things they wanted, and they weren’t even asking a lot. Because of Biden. So fuck that guy and fuck everyone who thinks that’s a good example of being pro labour.
And right after trains full of dangerous chemicals kept derailing.
But a democrat did that so it’s fine
They are lying partisan hacks.
Biden slow-walked restaffing the NLRB and his admin has fucked labor power repeatedly, including cutting COVID benefits and protections and ramping up interest rates to create unemployment.
Oh, and he broke the rail strike.
It means the bar is so low anyone can top it
