'They have a right to strike,' Pres. Biden says about workers in several states striking to demand more from employers. 'And they have a right to demand higher wages.'

United Auto Workers union members in 14 locations went on strike against the farm and construction equipment maker over a contract dispute one week after 1,400 Kellogg's workers walked off the job.MOLINE, Ill. -- More than 10,000 Deere & Co. workers went on strike Thursday, the first major walkout at the agricultural machinery giant in more than three decades.

“We will keep working day and night to understand our employees’ priorities and resolve this strike, while also keeping our operations running for the benefit of all those we serve,” Morris said. The union dropped off a metal barrel and firewood to keep workers warm in preparation for a demonstration that is expected to continues for 24 hours a day, the Quad-City Times reported. Workers began picketing at several other Deere plants — including at its large operation in Waterloo, Iowa — Thursday morning around when the first shift would normally arrive.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said workers have a lot of leverage to bargain with right now because of the ongoing worker shortages.

We're striking against his VaccineMandate

Do they have the right to choose to get vaccinated? And they have the right to choose not too? Because the vaccine causes blood clots? And that because of this, it should be choice and people shouldn't worry about their jobs demanding them to get it or lose everything?

This dinosaur is clueless

I guess we're to blame for the supply chain problems and it's our fault products aren't making it to market...unless you're union, then it's okay to contribute to the problem.

Pre.Biden seems to be first president ,all over the world ,who stood with working class. Thank you President

Kat4Obama Trump would have demanded they be arrested and force to work for new John Deere hats.

They’ll NEED to demand higher wages just to make ends meet after the tax hikes he’ll put in place after revamping the “budget”.

Boy boo, they don't want that jab, & your on an encouragement delusional campaign

Tired of seeing him without mask. We damn near get thrown in jail if we don’t wear it. He’s a terrible joke.

Because we never seen those trickle down economics the chump administration promised. Corporations did exactly what we predicted, profited from the chump administration.

They pay us like we don't need rent money

Workers u need to strike against Biden he’s to blame for ur problems not the employers!

But they are “GOOD Union” jobs, Joe.😂

In the last one week,I have made profit from forex by trading with rogerkver__1 it’s my first time trading online and I must say it was difficult trying but I did and had good results and I made a lot from it,it’s all thanks Mr Roger Ver Dm rogerkver__1 to start investing

And Bidet has a right to fuel inflation.....so far he looks like he learned his lessons from Carter well! He wants the teamsters to get double time offloading ships after their orchestrated slow down. He is going to raise taxes for his 'jobs plan' (obviously we don't need one)!

The first time that Biden took Solidarity for the welfare of workers demanding higher wages, greater benefits and economic security.

How about the right to NOT have a vaccine forced on them?!?!?!?

IStandWithPresidentBiden

Biden created record fuel prices and as a result record inflation and increased cost of living, of course they need higher wages to keep up with increased cost of living thanks to joe Biden

POTUS is correct, they have a right to strike. I come from a Union family, in 1980 when Regan and trickle down started father's union took a 3$ reduction to keep their union plus less benefits. It took 10 years to get that back. Blue collar families need help! Just a little

America needs more worker's unions. Bring back a strong and thriving middle class.

Where’s the good paying Union jobs?. Empty store shelves, mandates, snooping in all Americans bank accounts . People are dying because of border crisis, bulldozer graves. Americans dying from China made Fentanyl. President Biden and Harris are the root cause.
