Why didn't Biden invoke Taft-Hartley to delay the strike?

@carpediem Yes in the 70s those were kid jobs. Now their jobs for people who are desperate to pay their rent.
The main point here is that we used to manufacture things in this country shoes clothes furniture tools, many of the names that we know like Dewalt or Coleman? Or just items relabeled manufactured in China. During the early 70s, the nature of the jobs available for an adult person was much more diverse in terms of income possibilities than it is now.
In the 70s there were many well-paid industrial jobs. Go look at Detroit now, it’s a ghost town.

We have not cared enough for the working people. We care too much for the tech Brose and other billionaires.
Uber and DoorDash, and such things are no decent replacement for industrial manufacturing,

@SatyrService The reference to "flipping hamburgers" is so arrogant. And so often used by people justifying their own high wage. I remember an ALPA spokesperson using it to justify Delta's demand for $300K wages for its pilots.

@SatyrService If I remember right, strike income is a fraction of their regular income, and gets paid in part by other affiliated unions. I belonged to ALPA for about 15 years, and strike income mostly phissed off those who had no say-so in having to pay it. Add to the phissed off groups were lower seniority striking members who received less than senior union members.

@Musicman Exactly
