RE: Biden* calls on Congress to block RR worker strike
Quote:Railroad workers have found support from several sources, including progressive Democrats who seem frustrated with the White House for taking the stance that it did, to fellow labor unions, like a major flight attendant’s union that issued a statement of solidarity on Wednesday morning.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters released a statement on President Biden’s stance on the issue, expressing its disappointment.
“Indeed, the big corporations, the monopolies that control America — the robber baron railroads — have again profiteered from the problem they created and shifted the consequences of it onto the Railroad Workers, the customers, and the general public. This cannot continue. There must be a change,” the statement read.
It appears that decades of pandering to unions have led Biden to a point where those unions can use their powerful influence on voters to get anything and everything they want, even at the expense of hamstringing the U.S. economy in unspeakable ways at the worst possible time in modern U.S. history.
One might say that President Biden is about to reap what he sowed.
