Yeah that’s totally the same as firing 400,000 workers. I just reread the story which you’re basing your claim, 8/12 of the unions involved agreed to the deal. Despite not having sick days, it’s still a start. Additionally, the sick leave vote was in December of 2022 and made by the Senate. While Democrats retook the Senate as a result of the election that November, they weren’t sworn in until January 2023
TLDR you’re equating 15 days of paid sick leave which was denied by the Republican Senate to the firing of 400,000 people and termination of collective bargaining contracts. You’re also comparing averting an economic disaster and holiday season supply line disruptions to someone terminating the rights of 400,000 workers. Literally the result of collective bargaining vs. union busting
I never said they were the same thing please read what I actually said. 8/12 unions did ratify the deal, but the 4 that voted no represented 60,000 workers. The ones that voted yes represented 55,000. And this vote came after months of stalled negotiations, which tends to demoralize workers
The result of the vote for sick leave, which is why those 4 unions voted no, was 52 yeas (44-D, 2-I, 6-R) and 43 nays (1-D, 42-R) lmao. Democrats are pro-worker, but when you’re facing $2 Billion daily costs and halting 30% of imported cargo by weight and Republicans strike down one of the biggest demands, what other choice do you have?
