Joe Biden is going to go to the UAW picket lines.

[Paul158]

This should get really interesting. It  looks like he is losing his popularity with the unions. Maybe he should send old Pete or maybe Kamala'

Or the Secretary of education? She's so beautiful

He isn't buying what Joe  is selling.

He went there to support them, so maybe the dude is an idiot.  No idea which company he works for, but he might not even have a company to work for if Biden and Barack Obama hadn’t gone to bat for GM 14-15 years ago.

Maybe he should reach across the aisle and send this guy.

From your link:  “Although Scott specifically cited a case of firing federal workers at the campaign event, his comments were widely taken as hostile toward all union activity.”

Scott actually said:  "Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike.”

Scott’s campaign responded:  “Sen. Scott has repeatedly made clear, both at that event and others, that Joe Biden shouldn't leave taxpayers on the hook for any labor deal.”

I wonder if they are close at all on the 32 hour work week demand, would be interesting to see that play out at such big companies

Exactly.  He sounds like the kind of guy I'd want speaking at my picket line.  Bipartisanship works baby!!!

It reveals that all the hoopla is fake news, and you are flying it.

I think the American Taxpayer went to bat for GM. I think we also went to bat  for Chrysler. I guess they were to big to fail.

You do understand Biden's wacho green new deal for Ev vehicles is going to cost the UAW 40,000 jobs in the next 7 or 8 years.

Wrong.  If the meltdown happened a year prior, Cheney would have been too busy in his second career as a shooting range target.

No, but I do know car companies need to produce EVs.

Ahhh....good ole hypocrisy in full display in this thread...first off are the people who have consistently said they are against the government bailing out big corp, but yet now are touting when that in fact happened (i.e., the car manufacturers getting bailed out)...then they are all for the union workers, yet vote for and support candidates that are going to drastically impact those same union workers in a very negative way.  Can't make this stuff up...

Difference between bailing out Wall Street blood sucking leeches and helping restructure GM, which employs 100,000s of blue collar people.  How does this impact work, exactly?

And doesn't want to pay them fairly or provide safe working conditions. If you actually cared about those people, you should be 100% pro strike, no questions asked. 

We all benefit from labor militancy. That's where we got the weekend folks.

As one who lives where one of the biggest John Deere plants in the world is I am beyond puzzled as to how and why Republicans supported those striking union workers a couple of years ago,  yet are now against striking union workers again. 

As always,  someone is telling them how to think
