You can have one when you get your money back from your useless university.

I’m failing to see how the current administration is the “largest threat to organized labor in a generation”, when the last one literally actually blocked a major railroad union from going on strike?
You must have missed where the Trump admin just unilaterally dissolved the TSA's union and right to collectively bargain. You might want to read this.

Public sector unions are and entirely different animal than private sector unions.

You didn’t answer the question though, what do you think about Biden not allowing the strike?

No president has supported labor, all the way back to Clinton blocking the AA pilot strike

Actually, not all PEBs are bad for labor. Labor in the Eastern strike and the Northwest mechanics in 2005 were begging for PEBs because they knew management was fully prepared to break the unions. Clinton's PEB was for the benefit of the AA pilots as the APA was unprepared to take on Crandall.

Check out this book if you want the real story about the PATCO strike. They actually had a pretty good TA that was voted down before Reagan empowered the anti-union elements of his administration.

Not him, but shameful and embarrassing.
Do you think the current administration would have allowed the strike?

And I'm sure the anti-labor movement really respects that difference and would never try to undercut a private sector union, right? Also, you didn't answer the question. Is your stance is that the government should be able to unilaterally dissolve private or public sector unions? Do you think they will come after private sector unions next?

As for your question I wasn't a fan of Biden's move, but I understand the need at the time for a bipartisan agreement to help the nation's economy rebound as the right wing crowd screeched about how awful it was that the US inflation and economy wasn't doing great, but was still doing better than most of the 1st world. I also see a massive difference between mediating a disagreement and dissolving ***the entire damn union***. It's also obvious that the Biden administration's move was a far better outcome for the union than anything this administration would have done. But hey if you can find me an example of Trump intervening in any dispute in a pro-labor way I would love to see it.
