Auto unions are on strike in Detroit. Libs are cheering it on... for now. I'm calling it now. Next week when Biden intervenes, the cheers will be memory holed.

About 13,000 U.S. auto workers have stopped making vehicles and headed for the picket lines. Their leaders have been unable to bridge a giant gap between union demands in contract talks and what Detroit’s three automakers are willing to pay.

    “I know it’s important to stand up for what we believe in, but the strike is starting to affect the economy. Biden needed to send the Pinkerton hit squad. It’s too close to the 2024 election and we need to be pragmatic. We can’t have Trump back in office!”

        Sigh, 82nd airborne it is then. Embrace tradition, make a quick and brutal example to put an end to this this labor contagion.

    I wonder how little the workers will get this time when Congress passes a law making their strike illegal.

      i bet they’ve learned their lesson last time during the railroad strike and will act clandestinely to break up this strike and minimize political blow back.

    Once the union agrees to some shit ass deal it will be forced that we must cheer for this deal and encourage workers to accept. And if we have criticisms “This is not the time” To bring it up. And they care just as much as us because they were cheering last week. Just following how the ups strike went
