I wonder if the nonunion workers who didn't get a raise (I assume) will endorse Trump
Non unions plants usually also have to give raises to stay competitive and not lose their workers. Unions benefit everyone.
That would be interesting to see that bit of data, because iirc, nonunion workers often receive incidental improvements because of union negotiations (at the same company).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — The United Auto Workers union is expected to endorse President Joe Biden as early as Wednesday, according to three people familiar with the decision.
Last fall, Biden became the first sitting president to join a picket line when he visited auto workers outside Detroit who were striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases.
The UAW endorsement could carry significant political implications because of the influence on voters in Michigan, a critical battleground in the 2024 election.
Biden has long touted himself as the most pro-union American president but that message has fallen flat with some of those members who are concerned about immigration and trade, two big points Trump makes.
But a few have stayed on the sidelines so far, including the Teamsters, the American Postal Workers Union and the International Association of Fire Fighters.
UAW President Shawn Fain, as recently as Monday, had a message for political leaders seeking the union’s support.
The original article contains 345 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I bet you the Railroad Unions aren't. He told them to get fucked and get back to work.
They literally said he helped them great and they were satisfied bruh
Union Leadership said he helped them, the same one that is now stabbing labor in the back with an endorsement.
Thanks bruh. I'm sure the actual workers would disagree.
Got any proof of that then, bruh?
They actually got what they wanted with Biden's help.
Now this is some leopards ate my face
I'm with you--folks already forget what he did with the rail workers?
Endorsing Trump would be ridiculous, but how about the unions endorse no one--can that be a thing?
You mean when he support the rail workers and fought congress undermining them? Why do leftist want to rewrite history to ensure people think it isn't a W for Biden and labor rights?
Any win by a liberal is a threat to the leftists, since their argument is based on the inability of liberals to govern
Yeah dude we get it, you hate liberals. Unfortunately you need them to get anything of material benefit done for working class people and minorities.
I was agreeing with you, I should have said "the perceived inability of liberals to govern"
Apologies, I missed the intention in my fervor lol
This comment is so disingenuous. Your link said guaranteed sick leave was the sticking point in December 2022:
The initial agreement brokered by the Biden administration was accepted by all but four rail unions, who were holding out for guaranteed paid sick leave days. The opposing unions, though, represent the majority of rail workers. The workers and companies had until Dec. 9 to reach an agreement before they vowed to strike, which the industry estimated would cost the U.S. economy $2 billion per day.
But five months later, it was resolved:
When Joe Biden and Congress enacted legislation in December that blocked a threatened freight rail strike, many workers angrily faulted Biden for not ensuring that the legislation also guaranteed paid sick days. But since then, union officials says, members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days.
Not all workers got sick days, the ones that did didnt get as many as if they were able to strike, and this outlawing of their collective bargaining poisons any future negotiations.
Democrats really love this story of unions being unnecessary and strikes being wrong.
Yea, five months after he very publicly shut down the strike, they quietly got a small part of what they were asking for. This isn't the w you think it is
Looks like a W to workers. Let's ask the rail workers who have increases of 24% how they like their new contract.
Then what is it? What happened? What are your sources? Substituting reality because you disagree with it will get you nowhere, champ.
Are you in a union? If not I'd understand why your upset. Anyone who is in one recognizes how good biden has been for labor in this country. Probably the best labor president since FDR even.
Source?
5 months after acting like a jackass, he was quietly a real swell dude. Sound like he was a real swell dude and ended the whole thing on a good note 💎 🐊 😎
What do you think this link proves exactly?
Biden personally outlawed their strike.
I assume this is the UAW leadership seeing that Biden would be better than trump, and so endorsing accordingly.
