We need a lot more of this from democrats.

God damn, 60% raise?? Get Biden a nursing raise like that and they’ll deliver a 50 state landslide (mostly kidding but still, damn)

What?

Bruh Joe stopped a strike that threatened to cost All Americans money

Why is everything assumed partisan politics

Good article worth reading but here’s some tidbits.

> Last year, he became the first president to join a picket line, speaking to striking United Auto Workers members.
>
> Biden had been tracking the strike since September and directed his team after a Sept. 26 meeting to tell both sides to negotiate in good faith. Brainard, Su and Buttigieg began working with the parties involved, with Brainard liaising with management and Su in closer touch with the union, said one of the people familiar with the matter.
>
> The Wednesday before the deadline, the alliance filed a federal charge against the union with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the longshoremen of failing to bargain in good faith and seeking an order that they come back to the table. It was an unusual tactic for an employer in a labor dispute; it is more common for unions to accuse managers of acting in bad faith.
>
> That Friday, Sept. 27, the president’s aides met with USMX board members at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House and stressed the need for them to provide a fair deal to dockworkers, one person familiar with the matter said. Brainard made clear to the board members that the president would not be using Taft-Hartley to end the strike, the person said. Biden was briefed later that day on the lack of progress, and Zients began convening Brainard, Su and Buttigieg multiple times a day to keep tabs on the strike.
>
> Ships almost immediately began piling up offshore. The queue would grow to include 59 container vessels by Thursday, according to data firm Everstream Analytics, stranding hundreds of thousands of containers.
>
> Biden doubled down on putting pressure on the shipping firms over the following days. The White House repeatedly hammered shipping profits since the pandemic. On Wednesday, Biden tried increasing the pressure by saying publicly that failure to reach a deal could exacerbate the impact of the hurricane.
>
> “To get in one raise what it took you in the past six years to achieve is monumental,” Riley said. “The administration played a key role here in bringing the parties together and defending American workers and the union workers against foreign giants.”

All this guy does is get shit done and he receives absolutely zero credit

That strike was pure overreach led by a mobbed up Trump sycophant and Joltin’ Joe’s administration got on the phones and shut it the fuck down!

He stopped Trump’s and the union president plan.

Now give the teachers a raise.

Biden isn’t pro-union.

Biden is pro-capitalism. He crushed a rail strike and forced them back to work.

I will never forget that.

This won’t give Democrats a single vote they weren’t getting already

I’m all for higher wages but then people either have to expect: 1. Lower company profits, 2. Tightening their budgets elsewhere, perhaps less hours or fewer workers, 3. Higher prices
