I wonder if the nonunion workers who didn't get a raise (I assume) will endorse Trump

[-] BeanGoblin 28 points 1 year ago

Non unions plants usually also have to give raises to stay competitive and not lose their workers. Unions benefit everyone.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

That would be interesting to see that bit of data, because iirc, nonunion workers often receive incidental improvements because of union negotiations (at the same company).

I bet you the Railroad Unions aren't. He told them to get fucked and get back to work.

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

They literally said he helped them great and they were satisfied bruh

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks bruh. I'm sure the actual workers would disagree.

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Got any proof of that then, bruh?

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Union Leadership said he helped them, the same one that is now stabbing labor in the back with an endorsement.

They actually got what they wanted with Biden's help.

I'm with you--folks already forget what he did with the rail workers?

Endorsing Trump would be ridiculous, but how about the unions endorse no one--can that be a thing?

[-] ZahzenEclipse@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago

You mean when he support the rail workers and fought congress undermining them? Why do leftist want to rewrite history to ensure people think it isn't a W for Biden and labor rights?

[-] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 year ago

Any win by a liberal is a threat to the leftists, since their argument is based on the inability of liberals to govern

[-] ZahzenEclipse@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah dude we get it, you hate liberals. Unfortunately you need them to get anything of material benefit done for working class people and minorities.

[-] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was agreeing with you, I should have said "the perceived inability of liberals to govern"

[-] ZahzenEclipse@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Apologies, I missed the intention in my fervor lol

What do you think this link proves exactly?

[-] blazera@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Biden personally outlawed their strike.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON — The United Auto Workers union is expected to endorse President Joe Biden as early as Wednesday, according to three people familiar with the decision.

Last fall, Biden became the first sitting president to join a picket line when he visited auto workers outside Detroit who were striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases.

The UAW endorsement could carry significant political implications because of the influence on voters in Michigan, a critical battleground in the 2024 election.

Biden has long touted himself as the most pro-union American president but that message has fallen flat with some of those members who are concerned about immigration and trade, two big points Trump makes.

But a few have stayed on the sidelines so far, including the Teamsters, the American Postal Workers Union and the International Association of Fire Fighters.

UAW President Shawn Fain, as recently as Monday, had a message for political leaders seeking the union’s support.
