    Biden took his sweet ass time doing it while workers continued to suffer. Further, saying “it would be bad for you to go on strike right now so you can’t” is so anti-labor its insane! Think about it! If its so bad for them to strike, why didnt Biden step in and tell the corporations right then, "look jack, either you cave or I will let them strike. Come to the table or lose your profits. " Of course, he sided with corporations and took the anti-union stance. He’s not pro-labor, if he was he’d be out supporting the writers guild, Starbucks, the fucking NLRB

      Biden wanted to force to the corpos to pay up under the railway labor act, but the Republicans in Congress blocked it.

      Or just hear me out. He did it while trying to make the corporations come to the table, not increase inflation more than it already is, and succeeded. Yes, it took a long time. But hey, politics isn’t a quick and dirty thing. I think people forget that things happen over months or years, not days.
