    Now smile really REALLY big and say “Joe Biden is the most pro-union president in American history”

    He’s the most pro-union President in my lifetime. Which is to say he’s not aggressively sabotaging and dismantling every union group his national police agencies can get their hooks into.

    This is the gold standard for a modern Democratic President. A guy who won’t show up with a crowbar and knee-cap you as you’re trying to move 40 years of accumulated economic baggage.

      I could believe you’re under 24 and missed Bill, but you weren’t born till 2016 and missed Obama too?

        Ask the AFL-CIO how they feel about Clinton continuing NAFTA after explicitly campaigning against it.

        Deindustrialization of the Midwest obliterated manufacturing. Telecom consolidation under the 1996 act also wrecked unionization in both the industrial and mass media sectors.

          Why did you skip Obama and go straight to Bill?

          How is Biden more pro-union than Obama?

            Tom Perez sucked ass and I shouldn’t need to spell that out.

              But…

              On June 12, 2023, President Biden named Perez to serve as senior advisor to the president and director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.

              Biden promoted him?

              So how does that make Biden better if he’s why you didn’t like Obama?

                  So you had no reason to say:

                  He’s the most pro-union President in my lifetime.

                  Because it sounds like there wasn’t a reason, but I’m not sure why it took so many comments to get here.

                    I had not realized Biden had reappointed Perez to his office.

                    I’m not sure why it took so many comments to get here

                    You clearly knew something about Biden’s record on labor policy that I didn’t.
