Do you not remember this happening? Did you not know what it meant?
When Biden did that he ended the legal strike against the wishes of the rail workers. If they wanted to continue their strike it would have been illegal. Idk how else I can phrase this to make it even more explicitly clear.
Show me where it says Biden made it illegal to strike
Also you have completely ignored the fact workers got more sick time and the unions thanked Biden
I literally just did, read the article.
After biden signed that the strike would have been illegal if it continued. Idk what you think it means when a signed order by a government official declares that something cannot be done anymore, but I tend to describe that as making the thing that cannot be done anymore "illegal". If they had continued the strike, it would have been what is known as a wildcat strike.
Unless you are just gunna be a troll about it and do that thing where you refuse to look at evidence while constantly demanding more evidence. Then just fuck off
He started being a troll about it, that's why I never responded.
Still not seeing anything about making it illegal to strike. You're making it up. Neverming that workers got increased sick time and pay increase with the unions thanking Biden. I guess you know better than the IBEW.
Do you get paid to spread this garbage? This mirrors the Reddit propaganda leading up to the 2016 election. It's gonna be a long year
Will you fuck off? I voted for Biden in the main election, but people who think we can't be critical of politicians we otherwise support are a serious barrier to things actually improving.
I was never talking about the sick time, because it doesn't in any way contradict that Biden ended the strikes. I've made it clear enough that a 5yo could understand that when Biden signed that, the strike could not continue as a legal strike, and therefore ended. You are just a troll.
Even then not all the unions were happy about a contract being imposed on the workers that not all of them agreed to. Literally 1/3 of the unions were forced back to work.
This is You, this is what you sound like.
If you think this how you debate this isn't the flex you think it is
