I'm not arguing how people incorrectly rank him based on puff pieces from the likes of CAP, the NYT, or Politico. I'm speaking of what he has actually DONE for and to workers.
The Democratic Party and by extension Dem presidents were traditionally allies of unions and workers in general up to and including Carter. That ended when Clinton beat Bush the Elder by being more like Reagan than him.
Biden was the second or third worst Dem president for workers in his own lifetime.
Has there been many Republican presidents, including Trump, who have been MUCH worse for unions? Absolutely!
Does that mean that he was any good for unions, though, let alone one of the best ever? Hell no!
