    They didn’t allow them to strike. It doesn’t matter that they still helped the union negotiate. They kneecapped their bargaining power.

      Libs are just as deaf to criticism of their party as conservatives are.

      A successful rail strike would have emboldened the working class, whatever the administration did after doesn’t negate the damage they did to the current labor movement by stopping it.

          I’m not a Marxist (or a communist at all, for that matter), but if anyone needs the perfect example of the lumpenproletariat participating in their own oppression by believing the lies of their oppressors, this is it.

          Also no. Biden didn’t get them shit. He appointed better people than himself on the advice of better people than himself. Only thing he did personally was use his influence to take away their right to strike.

              Because I learn from labor movements of the past and how to apply what worked for them to our current situation.

                  Says the guy who didn’t learn from history what happens when workers lose their right to strike…
