Rail Unions Turn on ‘Proud Pro-Labor President’ Biden After He Asks Congress to Block Strike
Railroad workers and their union leaders have criticized President Joe Biden’s call for Congress to block a planned strike from going ahead amid concerns over the U.S. economy.
Biden warned on Monday that a rail shutdown would “devastate” the economy, while up to 765,000 Americans—many union workers themselves—”could be put out of work in the first two weeks alone.”
The president asked Congress to intervene and adopt a tentative deal brokered by the White House in September using its power to do so under the Railway Labor Act, which governs disputes between railway carriers and labor unions.
Union leaders have condemned the move from Biden, who pegged himself as a “proud pro-labor president” in a statement on Monday….
Sad that a few have the ability to cripple so many . Over some sick leave . All ready loaded with benefits. Don’t allow a few to hurt so many. Negotiate not strike .
Go out on strike. Don’t listen to them go workers . y’all voted for him he’s not for the working Man
Just walk out it will shut them down
Way to go Union Joe .
I think a 24 percent raise over six years is not asking for much ! Asking and getting sick days should be a no brainer . Your blowing it Biden.
Didnt he request more sick days. Sounds good to me
