For two, Biden’s the guy who picked a fucking cop-- and not just any cop, California’s “Top Cop” to be his VP. For three, he’s a strike-breaker-- some ‘pro-union’ president we have. I wholly expect him to torpedo the UAW strike too, within the month; regardless of whatever mealymouthed ‘backing’ he’s given the UAW for the cameras.
All in all, I still haven’t been given good reason to vote for the walking cadaver. And no, your personal boogeyman is not good enough.
If the execs won’t give labor what they’re due, labor is within their rights to take them by the short hairs for as long as it takes. Beyond that, they didn’t get the paid sick leave that was on the demands, and they have to burn their own leave time for sick days. You know, half the fucking reason they struck in the first place that isn’t the ATROCIOUSLY dilapidated state of our nation’s rails, and lack of proper safety inspections that will lead to more catastrophic derailings. One fucking extra day, wooo. Some victory.
But y’know, you get your freight on time so I guess that’s a victory for you, huh? And honestly, fuck your conciliatory figureheads. You want me to take you serious, show me what the actual rank-and-file are saying.
