Joe doesn’t have a big mouth like Trump, but he actually does accomplish things. Trump’s jealous because he has no clue about how
Pete Buttigieg was point man and mentioned by both sides. History will tell a story about Pete IMO.
Getting downvotes because Liberals want to give Biden credit for the union’s achievements. XD
Is liberal supposed to have a negative connotation?
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
Thursday’s deal came after Biden administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su told them she could get the union to the bargaining table to extend the contract if the carriers made a higher wage offer. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the carriers they had to make an offer by the end of the day so a manmade strike wouldn’t worsen a natural disaster, the person said.
By midday the Maritime Alliance members agreed to a large increase, bringing about the agreement.
It’s still crazy to me that Trump has all three branches and didn’t pass a single piece of major legislation.
He passed 1 major piece of legislation.
Absolutely nothing got in the way of his capital gains tax cut.
Lmao that’s true. Does that count as major? It PALES in comparison to the Biden Infrastructure bill in terms of scope.
Not that I oppose union strikes but it’s kind of dirty to do that to Democrats in the 11th hour. Not like their conditions would improve under Trump…
So associating bad publicity of obstructing hurricane aid is genius.
Dirty is how this would have played out had the strike occurred at any other time. Congress would have legislated back to work orders and that’s assuming POTUS couldn’t just use an executive order to do it.
Striking now meant honest negotiations instead of BS federal interference.
Yeah I’m sure the maga union boss was totally acting in good faith on behalf of his workers here…
Again, short-sighted. The damage may very well be done and this could jeopardize 4 years of someone who definitely will do jack shit for unions.
I know the tankies are upset, here, but here’s a dose of reality:
-
Union leader asking members to “pray” for Trump and his wonderful meeting with him.
-
Worth noting to the inevitable raising of the Rail Strike break-up that he intervened to keep supplies coming for December of that year would ultimately have hit the poor and middle class the hardest… .All the while he still managed to include half of their demands by way of a pay raise.
Actually, it would hit the wallets of the rail company shareholders hardest.
Also, don’t pretend that the rail strikers came out on top in that negotiation. Their #1 issue was understaffing and the total lack of sick time, neither of which were addressed.
I’m not sorry in the slightest that workers exercised their right to withhold their labor in order to get more favorable terms.
If you interpret workers having rights as an attack, you should examine what that says about you and your wing of the party.
Supporting the exercising of worker’s rights != exercising them effectively.
Again, they were short-sighted.
Only the gays keep the port closed
-Biden, probably
I cannot believe that actually worked.
