Biden says ‘you deserve what you’ve earned, and you’ve earned a hell of a lot more than you’re getting paid’ in first picket line visit by sitting US president
The negative is that the union wasn’t allowed to show its power, and actually had its power reduced by this. They shouldn’t need a savior to come in and do it for them, they should be able to advocate for themselves and get it done themselves, showing the working class our power.
That said, this is a good compromise which works better for more people, in this case.
I do wish they didn’t need a savior. Shit we need a Laborers party here more than ever. What would be required to truly bend these companies, though? They are so massive, and the government appears to be on their side more often than not. We would almost need a general strike to get everything we wanted. Which 17 fucken sick days ain’t shit. Some peopoe wipe that out just with the changing of the seasons and its not fair. You don’t control when you are sick.
The only way we’re going to change it is with unions. I work in tech. There are no unions in tech. It just simply does not happen much. I tried to unionize my workplace and was met with such severe apathy I only got 8 out of 50 people on board.
