To be honest, I think it is good that we're starting to see the conversation reframed from that of a consumer to that of a worker. People need to learn to think of themselves that way, not as pure consumers. Maybe it'll spread to also being nicer to waiters and stuff like that.

This is pretty scathing of him actually. Basically no credit was given to Biden and he was blamed for how difficult it was and for screwing them over, along with union officials who wanted to accept weak deals from the railroads and the White House. Their statement seems to be that only through popular pressure and media attention was there then the pressure on Congress to try to pass another law, and the threat of that is how they succeeded.
It's not saying government breaking strikes is good, they're saying it's a common tactic that has bee done throughout history that they need to be prepared for and overcome.
From your link (emphasis mine) :
Going forward into the next round of national bargaining in 2024, what lessons can we draw from this fight?
1 – National handling must be brought out into the light of day, so all union members know what is going on week-to- week, session-to-session.
2 – The membership must be polled, consulted, and in- volved at every step of the bargaining process.
3 – The union officials must lead and organize member ac- tions throughout the course of bargaining.
4 – Never again do we put faith in a PEB, regardless of who is President..
5 – Do not trust any politicians from any political party to come to our aid and assistance.
6 – Do not accept the union officials’ claim that “this is the best we can get.” If you believe you deserve more, vote no, and raise hell.
7 – All unions must come together and bargain as a single, united, and indivisible, ironclad bargaining coalition from Day One..
8 – No union/craft breaks rank. None settles until ALL un- ions/crafts settle.
9 – Join Railroad Workers United, help build unity of all rail labor, and get involved in the fight for a good contract in the next round of national bargaining
He didn't do well with the rail strikers but I guess he's trying to redeem himself. But I prefer that over a President who's consistently against labor, like any Republican one would be.
Not gonna lie, it seems like a pretty easy racket if you have no morals.
I'm going to add onto that The Boys and Invincible. Ya I agree that it's probably one of the better ones.
A good book on this is A People's History of the Supreme Court. People think it had legitimacy because they tend to remember the few good rulings that helped Civil rights (Brown v Board of Education, Roe v Wade), but a lot of it's decisions have been pretty terrible for the people in the US, from their decisions on slavery, segregation (before Brown), the Bush/Gore election results, every decisions they have made lately, etc.
They're not. They're arguing for making them legal, which then allows them to work and prevents the possible below the table abuse.
Weird... Guess there's still some quirks with Lemmy.
I wonder why Jerboa can't handle these links but Sync can. That app just works.
As for the memes themselves, good stuff.
Even the "!" link? Sometimes I have to click on it, give it time to pull the community, and then go back and click on the link again for it to actually show up, so maybe try that?
Otherwise, not sure.
Hopefully this spurs someone to go to the CFPB or something and sue. These companies need to stop pulling this retroactive change bullshit, like Unity, Wizards, ad now Hue.
