It’s fallout from breaking a big railroad workers strike last year. Breaking a strike is a BIG DEAL, so there’s a lot of well-earned mistrust about his dedication to union power. The anti-union-busting thing is a pretty damn good change, but saying “you can’t strike” cuts at the very heart of worker power and kind of eclipses it.
We’ve learned that words are meaningless without follow through. The NLRB change is great, but until it actually starts being enforced there isn’t anything to get excited about.
Biden is the most pro union President in my lifetime, but that isn’t saying much.
I’m referring to the comments in this thread, though. They’re all bashing Biden despite the NLRB thing.

That bar is so low, it was buried and rotting before the first millennial was born.
