Nah i don't think people will believe this, Biden is only trying to keep things together, he's decent in that. Btw republicans senators voted for this law more than democrats.
Democrats control congress and the white house. This law was entirely their measure, and happened at Joe Biden's behest. It was his intervention into a labor dispute in the first place.
Any of the nonsense about dual track bills is just pure posturing, like it always is with congress. They floated a bill including sick leave in the same sense that Obamacare was open to debate and commentary while the real bill was being hashed out behind closed doors with zero input.
The fact is that Joe Biden stabbed unions in the back, and has taken the most aggressive union busting action by a president since Ronald Reagan. There's some argument for the capture of union leadership by partisan political interests betraying their members, don't let me minimize that aspect- if they were actually serving their workers, they would have gone on strike before the election when they still had leverage over Biden and congress. But the fact that unions are being shanked by Biden and the democrats in congress instead of taking their dispute up with the corporate executives shows both how defunct unions have become in the 21st century as well as how much Democrats have betrayed the working class. "Republicans never supported unions in the first place" isn't much of a rallying cry for a party that pretends to support them, then quashes them worse than Republicans do, at least post Reagan.
