'Joe Biden blew it': Rail workers union lashes out at the White House

Biden celebrated in September a deal that would end negotiations between railway workers and their bosses, averting a strike. But that deal has since been rejected by multiple unions, which are now turning on Biden as the saga continues.“Joe Biden blew it," Railroad Workers United said in a press release.

Biden frequently calls himself the most pro-union president in history, yet he's now urging Congress to use the power granted it under the Railway Labor Act of 1926 to avert a strike that would cause severe economic disruption. After meeting with Biden at the White House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Congress would take up a bill this week to avert a strike.

Biden has called on railway workers to accept the labor contract brokered by the White House in September, warning that a strike threatens “crippling” disruption.The situation pits Biden and other Democrats against the unions, which are normally among the party's staunchest allies. A handful of more liberal members of Congress, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders , are holding out on the side of the unions.

“The 'most labor-friendly president in history' has proven that he and the Democratic Party are not the friends of labor they have touted themselves to be," reads another part of the release."These wolves in sheep’s clothing have for decades been in bed with corporate America and have allowed them to continue chipping away at the American middle class and organized labor."

JoeBiden What’s really amazing is these Union people will vote for Biden and his cronies in 2 years even if he drools on the mic.
