But you have to keep in mind the country he is running. Americans are very hostile to unions. A massive strike railroad strike shutting down the US economy would have ENRAGED your average american.
But overall, he was an extremely pro-union President:
Biden’s labor report card: Historian gives ‘Union Joe’ a higher grade than any president since FDR
Well yeah, if your average person doesn’t feel the sting when your labor is absent, how else can you guarantee majority support? To paraphrase a wise man, when you forget that things need to be built you are at risk of inheriting a system you rely on without gratitude.
I don’t give a shit about that. He lost his pro union status because of the railroad escapade. That is what the country needed to push the revolution it deserved and he squashed it and let corporate America win and now we have what we have. Fuck Joe Biden
For sure. Biden broke the railroad workers strike and was a “pro-labor” president. If a strike doesn’t make business sweat, labor has no cards.
I don’t agree with what Joe Biden did there.

(Republicans and a few conservatives democrats refused to vote the Pro-Act)
The Biden FTC banned employee non-compete clauses:

This was a huge win for american workers.
Guess what happened next. The non-compete ban was overturned by Ada Brown. She is a Republican Judge that was appointed by Trump:

It was 2 years ago.
Feels like a decade, dang. Who can keep track.
Anyway…
Now tell us how much Biden also loved Palestinians.
His policy toward Israel was a disaster. I will not defend that.
Biden only ever cared about his ego and legacy.
