Now let's see how long it takes the worthless-assed Biden administration to ratfuck this strike.

Crazy, 'cause I've got hella liberals trying to tell me that what he did wasn't even a strikebreak! While totally failing to understand that if the original demands weren't ceded to before presidential strikebreak, then the strike wasn't successful! Half-measures, these mfs just want half-measures.

Biden, who had repeatedly declared that he takes pride in being “the most pro-union president” in US history

do not look up "biden rail strike", worst mistake of my life!

Are we sure he doesn't actually just mean that he fought in the Civil War for the North or something? It would make a bit more sense, but I'm pretty sure he would've fought for the confederates instead.

I love it when USA workers strike. They should do that more often.

The UAW has a $825m strike fund that is set to compensate workers $500 a week while out on strike and could support all of its members for about three months.

CEOs already trying to figure out if they can avoid negotiations for 4 months upon reading this.
