    Most union-friendly president in 40 years. Which is perhaps more damning about the state of American politics for the past 40 years, but fuck, man, I’ll take what improvements I can get. Even the longest journeys begin with a single step.

      I think he might be the most union friendly president period. FDR busted a federal employee union, but I don’t think he ever joined a picket line

        FDR was also supported by many labor unions and by some standards the most pro union president. Taft-Hartley act under Truman (despite his veto) was probably the worst thing for labor since the Populist movement was dealt with.

          Of course. Biden also has that support. What I’m saying is that regardless of who the most pro union president is, they’ve done anti union things as well.

            Yeah ultimately they all serve the system that exploits people, and are more representative of the time period they served in than individual personalities who altered the course of history. They didn’t make history, history made them.
