I like a President who joins the picket lines. Way to show solidarity, Joe!
@georgetakei I agree. The US taxpayer bailed these car people out and they take the money and give the CEO"s millions? Total bull.
@georgetakei I know it might be hard to imagine people being this way, but I'll bet some of the people on that *very same* picket line will still vote against him (and against their own self-interest) because of the D next to his name.
@georgetakei Railroaders may disagree
@CryogenicIce9 @georgetakei "members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days."
@georgetakei If only he could do something πŸ˜”
@georgetakei he didn’t help the railroaders much, did he? It’s kind of gross.
@Stacky @georgetakei members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days.
@thelastpinkcar @georgetakei Yes, but the workers were prevented from striking.
@Stacky @georgetakei That would have been economically catastrophic, plus Biden's team secured the sick days. Funny that you don't blame the companies.
@georgetakei They need to be auto-workers instead of rail-workers for him to join? Seems a bit unfair, honestly. Qutie frankly it seems to me there is no support for rail/public infrastructure. It'd help the poor, climate-change, health...eh.
