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
Here’s an article where strike leader Tony Cardwell, President of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way of Employee’s division, explains that 4 sick days was the lowest offer they were willing to accept. I wish Biden did things differently in general, and they have every right to be unhappy and to push for further change, but Biden did actually work with them to get the minimum they wanted.
The minimum is not exactly worth an endearing compliment, though. But the situation is more complicated than just that Biden fucked over unions.
