    What do you think of the IBEW praising Biden in the wake of their June 2023 victories surrounding sick leave?

    “Biden deserves a lot of the credit for achieving this goal for us,” Russo said. “He and his team continued to work behind the scenes to get all of rail labor a fair agreement for paid sick leave.”

    Do you think Russo (the IBEW’s railroad director) was being dishonest with this quote? Do you think he was playing politics and that Biden was no help at all?

      I cannot speak to Russo’s intents or beliefs. What does that have to do with what I said? Please note that the IBEW had already agreed to the terms that were imposed. They are not one of the unions that had their basic human rights taken away. Even if they were, Russo’s personal opinions would neither justify, nor excuse, Biden’s choice to trample those rights.
