    You’re wrong, and back to work legislation defanged the main leverage the Union had in the first place. The whole point is being able to strike so you can force the business to accommodate your demands. Take the ability to strike away, and you’ve just gutted a big point of the Union’s power.

    Biden signing that into law was incredibly anti-worker, anti-union, and pro-corporate. This just falls back into the “too big to fail” scare tactic, and as someone else pointed out, a scab-ass take.

    No matter how you dress this up, you’re wrong, and I don’t care if you ignore the comments. This point is going to be continually brought up. This is the slippery slope back to the literal wars we use to fight over working conditions because it was illegal to strike. Would you rather us return to civil war?

    Let’s talk about the history of copper mining in Montana, since you think what Biden did was so fucking great. Those people literally shot at law enforcement officers because it was “illegal to stop working” and the corporations brought in both pinkertons and law enforcement to force people to work.

    Those are the stakes, and you can take your scab-ass fucked up opinion and fuck off. Biden was terrible for Unions across this country, and that single move set the stage for a terrible outcome for the American worker.
