He still banned the strike. They didn’t get to use their own power to demand the terms they wanted, they had to accept what the outside negotiators were willing and able to get for them.
I’m not disagreeing with the article’s premise, Biden is the most pro-labor president in a long time, but this gaslighting just makes Democrats look deceptive.
Edit: See @rockSlayer@lemmy.world’s response for a great way to respond to this. You don’t need to pretend his shit doesn’t stink, acknowledge it and then talk about the good stuff.
Gonna need a link. A quick search only talks about him banning that strike for “economic reasons”. While I’m willing to dig, I’d bet plenty whose minds may change are not.
It’s a major black mark on his labor record, but I can tell you with first hand experience as a union organizer that he’s done significant things that should have been done decades ago.
Bro quashed the railroad strike.
Nah, I thought so too at first. Look it up, his administration helped with the negotiations

The administration has actually done quite a bit in the background surprisingly. You do need to dig for it though
We’re totally doing the opposite of what we do in public, only where you can’t see it.
All good things are being done in secret for some reason, but they’re happy to be very publicly bad.
It’s all in public.
You only heard about the bad stuff if you listen to Fox News or to other people who got it from Fox News.
And you wouldn’t have a different situation with any other recent president apparently.
