Bernie is pushing for 32/week.
If he was president we might have gotten it, but Biden sure as shit isn't even going to mention it.
American workers are more productive than at any point in history, it's just all the wealth goes into a very small number of pockets, and instead of having to pay taxes, they pay a small percent to politicians in both parties to ensure workers don't get any
I wouldn't say we'd have gotten it. Being president doesn't mean you control Congress.
Well he probably wouldnt have broken the railroad strike at least
They got everything they wanted from the strike without having to fuck up the US economy. Stop thinking you’re dunking on Biden with this one, it’s stupid.
Huh?
They structured a deal with the unions instead of striking. They got a 24% raise (biggest in 4 decades), platinum healthcare, and the things that were on the strike demands for each involved union.
