“The bill has 222 cosponsors in the House, including seven Republicans.” YALL ARE FUCKING STUPID. BOTH SIDES. HOW CAN YOU SAY DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED THEIR BACK ON THE WORKING CLASS WHEN ONLY 7 REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING TO PROTECT LABOR UNIONS?

The Biden administration forced railroad workers to accept a contract that they voted on and rejected. A majority of Democrats (including AOC!!!) voted to approve this blatant attack on railroad workers

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?

That’s not even mentioning that Senate also ruled against extending the cooling-off period by 60 days for further negotiations.
