Joe Biden Is About to Go Where No President Has Gone Before
Joe Biden Is About to Go Where No President Has Gone Before
On September 15, the United Auto Workers began a targeted strike against Ford, GM, and Stellantis (the conglomerate that includes Chrysler) in an effort to secure higher wages, a four-day work week, and other protections in the union’s next contract. The strike is a huge development for American workers, but it’s also a big deal for President Joe Biden—these car companies are central to his green-infrastructure agenda. The union wants assurances that the industry’s historic, heavily subsidized transition toward electric vehicles will work for them, too.
Biden, whose National Labor Relations Board has been an ally of labor organizers in fights against companies such as Amazon and Starbucks, has called himself “the most pro-union president in American history.” He has expressed support for the UAW’s cause (workers “deserve their fair share of the benefits they helped create,” he said last week) and has sent aides to Michigan to assist in the negotiations.
Joe Biden was a big fan of working on muscle cars when he was younger (even though he also loved public transportation). I think he can definitely appreciate the skill it takes to build a car, so I'm glad he's doing this.
Yes, he didn't do the right thing with the rail workers union- and yes, I know things were negotiated afterward, but it was the wrong way to go about it- but let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good and acknowledge that he's doing the right thing this time, which is better than taking the side of the auto companies like the Republicans are.
Why don't you tell us where he is going in a useful headline as opposed to perpetuating click bait culture by using the headline from the website.
America needs Joe Biden for other reasons but we seriously need to stop judging politicians by what they say in do in the press and be paying more attention to their legislative work. That is all. I love Joe is out on the picket lines. Now back them up in DC.
Is it to bosnia?
all the presidents go there every election time
they all throw some scraps out that represent what they claim to be standing for and usually the flashier guy wins
both guys work for the same team but have two different uniforms either red or blue with different letters on them but always d or r
works great for whoever they actually are representing
if anyone else has a different opinion we can chain them to a chair MURICA!
