No it's not. Ted Cruz has voted against union interests more than the average Senate republican. Don't let this singular event goldfish you. He is not a friend of labor.

We aren't talking about their everyone else right now. We are talking about Ted. And how even he votes against labor more than the average R.

The average D voted with labor 99% of the time in 2021.

Dude, why let facts get in the way of a perfectly good excuse to cherry pick and get an endorphin rush by feeling youre part of a cause?

You also have to look at what they are claiming is the scorecard. Voting against a bill that dissolves the need to have an ID to vote isn’t particularly labor-related as are most of the “against labor” votes. AFL-CIO is a hyper-partisan organization. Essentially they said that if a member of congress voted along party lines on just about anything, you were pro-labor as a democrat and against the working man as a republican.

From your post to God’s ears.

This rapid action by Congress and a “labor friendly” President has exposed the RLA for what it is:

Kabuki theater, where the ultimate outcome is known by everyone one second after contract amendable date.

I agree that it would be great, however I think we should all recognize that this is the opposite side of “too big to fail.” 2020 that gave us the CARES acts, 2023 that might also give us Gov’t intervention in a bad way.
I’m not saying that’s going to happen. I think history has shown that, in the Government’s eyes, railroads aren’t allowed to strike but airlines are.

It would be even better if every AFL-CIO affiliated union did the same in solidarity. I'm in.

Sounds like he actually owns you, and a few others here too.
