Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's cool that he got rid of that piece of shit trump appointee, but he hasn't done anything else for unions since.
Of course the teamsters not supporting him is because of corruption, it's not like he's blatantly anti-union in speech and in action or anything. Why doesn't everyone else also hate him? That's the real question.
They got a small portion of the sick leave they asked for. Quietly. Months after Biden very publicly shut down the strike. This is not a Biden w, no matter how hard you try to sell it as one.
Is there anything else I should know about? I didn't know about the first bit, that's pretty neat ig, but it doesn't change the fact that Biden being "pro-union" is a blatant lie. It's like saying the IDF is the most moral military, literally anyone not completely indoctrinated by liberal propaganda is gonna see right through that and call bs on it. Being only slightly shitty to one union does not make him pro union, unless you're telling me every other president has union members regularly executed and Biden is just relatively pro-union compared to that
If he's done more than one good thing for unions, I'd love to hear it. Make sure you put as much snark in there as possible, and call me a trump supporter and a troll for not 100% sharing your opinions :3
It is, indeed. What do you think is the answer? Why so many unions are coming out to go to bat for him?
Here’s a pretty good list. It’s fair; the ones I sent were a little short on specific details.
Thank you for the list, there's cool stuff on there I didn't know about :3 it also reminded me of non-compete agreements getting nuked recently, that's another very cool thing. Most of it seems to just be undoing stuff trump did, but that + other good things is nice in my book.
Sorry for being a sarcastic asshole about this. Most biden supporters I've seen don't know much pro-labor stuff he's done other than spinning the rail strike into a good thing and crying bad faith if you disagree, I shouldn't have assumed you were the same way
Ha. All good, glad to be of service
You think the first president ever to visit a picket line won't get union votes?
