Image description: An image macro with two panels. In the first a bunny labeled “BIDEN” is holding a clipboard while looking up to an older woman labeled “VOTER.” In the second panel, the bunny is saying “would you like to keep Trump out of the white house” and it becomes clear that the clipboard, which is obscured from the vision of the older woman, contains the to-do list for an evil plan

Preach! Biden also nullified the collective action of the union with the most sway in the flow of goods in the United States and forced a contract upon them. He never closed down those immigrant detention centers that were headline news for years under Trump. The two main parties work together, two hands, one with a velvet glove.

That railroad union thing he followed through on and got them what they wanted.

I hadn’t heard about that either, and it was on my list of reasons why I fucking hate him, but that one thing he actually took care of in the aftermath.

Still bypassing Congress to send even more weapons to the Israelis though, so…

Edit: here is what you are talking about, glad the democratic process of the union on voted on this. https://www.railwayage.com/news/amtrak-ns-ratify-agreements-with-unions/

It doesn't negate the fact that Biden took away their most effective collective bargaining tool, a strike. It makes their ability to go to the bargaining table for what they want a lot harder. There is still a lot they did not get in this contract.
