That looks like a lot of marketing to me trying to shore up Biden's reputation with Union workers after he killed the railroad strike and left our necessary workers to the dogs.
- enraged_camel 3y agoYou’re getting downvoted because that wasn’t Biden, it was Congress. Biden is probably the most union-friendly president over the past 50 years.

- nxobject 3y agoThat's amazing – it's strange that I never noticed that. Although I can imagine that it would benefit a lot of dealmakers to lower the public attention on this issue a little.
- rhaway84773 3y agoNo it doesn’t benefit any deal maker to do this. The media simply doesn’t cover this for obvious reasons. The media is corporate and pro union actions aren’t good for them either.
