    At least france has the balls to pull this shit.

    The US just saw their failing rail system cause a serious chemical spill, then when the rail workers unionized and asked for time off they got told by the president they have to keep working.

        None of what he said was misinformation. Fuck biden for making it illegal for them to strike.

              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

                  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.

      That’s not true at all.

      We’ve had way more than one serious chemical spill caused by the failing rail system.
