    IBEW do not represent rail workers, only a small amount. Railroaders are not happy with the deal they got.

      There were 11 other unions involved. Their members (the site said they combine for over 100k workers) got these benefits too, they negotiated together for a deal that would affect all of them.

      I get hating Biden, I really do. He’s not nearly far enough left for me either. But do you have anything to back that claim up besides your word?

        Then why haven’t they made the same statements praising Biden? IBEW represents a small amount of rail workers and their leadership is corrupt. Most members on r/railroading are not happy with the deal they got, but you don’t care about them.

        they negotiated together for a deal that would affect all of them.

        Which is?

        Hypocritical you would say that after claiming 11 unions back the deal. https://www.reddit.com/r/railroading/comments/16sclgc/are_we_still_upset_with_biden_for_our_contracts/
