'HE TURNED HIS BACK': Rail workers unleash fury on Biden after he forces unions to accept deal

The president acknowledged that more work needs to be done.

FILE - A worker rides a rail car at a BNSF rail crossing in Saginaw, Texas, Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022. "Their voice has not been heard, they voted against the contract," Murtagh said. "We have a pro-labor president who loves to, you know, pat himself on the back for that, and when the going got tough, he turned his back on the people he’s supposed to be looking out for."

You guys got every bit of what you deserve. Elections have consequences.

if they had to do it all over again, they would still vote for Biden!

Caterpillar in Mossville outside of Peoria Illinois was never closed now the giant parking lot is full of weeds and caterpillar is gone the main Hub in East Peoria Illinois torn down gone Democrats are like a swarm of locusts they destroy everything in their path

My mother worked at caterpillar for 32 years it shocked me to sit there and watch Obama tell them their jobs were protected while simultaneously saying he was going to kill the coal industry hello!! you sell Earth moving equipment he's putting you out of business for your vote

You would think the Unions would have learned after the Democrats sold them out to China you would have thought they would have learned by putting all those union workers out of work on the Keystone Pipeline and now this when are you going to stop voting for these fools

Union leaders will still give the dollars to the Democrats. They love the wine and dine the Dems provide.

I see blue flu in their future!

What did you expect?

They voted for him?

That’s what democrats do.

Elections have consequences.

Now you know how the rest of us feel!

What man needs to take off work for a birthday party? Plan the party for a time when your not working. Most kids would be happy to have a dad at all. Go to the dentist regularly and prevent such issues. Bad planning on your part. Not Biden on that one.

What the is wrong with you people? You can't manage to get to a dentist properly and your upset because you had to take off to go to your son's birthday party instead? That just sounds like a spoiled child. Not the kid, the adult. Grow up and learn to manage your life better.

BERNIE WOULD HAVE NEVER TURNED HIS BACK!!!!!!

You voted for him.

To all the Unioun Folks who beleived (Many still do) that Joe Biden is a Blue Collar- Nice guy qho has the worker's back, The writing has been on the wall for four decades, How did y'all not see it? Railroadstrike

Welcome to the club that includes Black Democrats, oil pipeline workers, those with student debt, etc.

Biden is only pro-labor at election time.

He’s getting his 10%.

There is a communist movement going on wake up

Again. Yet people keep voting/supporting him, his SOC party/donors, w/the same outcome. Stop voting for people based upon popularity, as a sports figure/actor, etc w/o quals. Vote based upon quals former CEO, COO, CFO, LE/Military/1st Resp, true American political records.

Please remind the rail workers...the election is over....hence the 'back turning'

The unions get what they deserved for being weak and not solving there own problems. You had to know if biden was involved the outcome would be terrible that's how he rolls.

backtheunions

That's a weak union to let that happen , they get what they deserved. That's what unions are suppose to be about.

If you knew just a little bit better you would have expected that from JoeBiden I mean we would have if I was in your situation. Sorry guys

And watch the will vote Blue again...

Most of you union members voted for Biden. So live with it.

You get what you vote for…

I suppose Republicans would have voted in favor of paid sick leave. NOT!

Ironic union workers vote mostly democrat. At some point they’ll learn Democrat leaders use them as pawns the same as way minorities are used every election cycle.

Not going to mention practically every Republican voting against the railway workers?

Personally, I love it when people get what they vote for. These people had a half century of Joe Biden records to research and they still voted for him. I won't cry if they end up on the street.

And where is he today Certainly no word for you guys!! Lol!! Please.....you thought resident biden was for you and not your vote Lol!!!!!!

What makes rail workers think they're any better than anyone else. Then it should be a federal mandate that everybody gets seven paid sick days off per year. Every rail worker or person who even puts up canned vegetables at a grocery store.

Well if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions coming to bite you in the ass. Shocking.

no you're not getting away with this one Fox 'News'. The republicans voted against the sick day provision that the rail workers wanted. That was the only thing holding back the deal.

Maybe it’s time for union workers to find a new ally? Democrats aren’t the party they claim to be!

If they have student loans they got burned twice.

Let’s not forget the republicans were against this even Josh Hawley who voted for it was pissed at his colleagues

Let's see...you get an $11,000 payout when the contract is ratified. At $1,000 per day, please consider that to be 11 paid sick days.

He is good at that

Hope you all didn’t vote for him?!

Big govt is a pawn of corporations. Tells you all you need to know.

I have no sympathy for the railroad workers or the students by falling for Biden's promises. All he wants is your vote.

Railroad employees should go on strike anyway, what are they going to do fire them?

Just like those kids thinking they're gonna get money for student loans they aint gonna get nothing and the democrats will promise them again at the next election and those kids would be stupid enough to fall for it again Democrats care nothing more than power.

Dark Brandon to the Neo-Libertarians 🎩.. give them sick time and a pay bump💰. You made out with big corporate profits during the pandemic. Your workforce show up👩‍🔧 and keep the 🧑‍💻wheels turning. 🦨

What did they expect? Democrats care about illegals and the government dependent. The union members are blind to this.

Stop voting for them, live and learn

You voted for him. Live with your actions.

Hopefully the Inions will go Republican

The last thing you want is to put people in a corner. They will fight back. Biden cornered the RR workers with forced acceptance but watch out, they may bite you back Biden.

Ole Joe and the Dems played the student debtors and the rail union workers to get their votes in the midterm. Neither his Railroad Union negotiations nor his student debt transfer plan worked out. Now he’s effectively “gerrymandering” with the Dem Primaries. POTUS TheDemocrats

Until they hit him where it hurts at the voting booths, nothing will change.He lies about everything.

Rail workers and other union workers need to buy ONE share of stock of each of the rail line companies which made billions in profit. Then they would have voting rights on board members or influence executives who support or don't support a sick time package for workers.

Biden could not let the economy crash. I am disappointed that those Senators did not vote for 7days sick time for workers while the Senators have a luxury sick time package.

So everyone else gets 2 years of sick leave.

Union leaders get wined and dined by Dem politicians and members get the shaft.

The only reason these union guys vote Dem is for ease of negotiations… well, that should be done!

He didn't turn his back on anyone, this is the Biden who lies for power, money, and its been always. His personal agenda is first and cynicism is synonymous

🤡🤡🤡

😆 🤣 😂

Rail labor unions don't have the same kind of clout the other unions do with Democrat politicians, apparently.

He’s lied to everyone else so why should they feel differently?

How long have they had a Union? Maybe, they don't work boohoo

Elon Musk is real US Hero Demand other Tech. to FOLLOW! All thanks to disgraceful GOP leadership, who put up USA on sale, just care about minority or majority leadership extended branch of DEMS!

You got what you deserved. Most of these union people will continue to vote Dem even though this happens every time. Never learn.

He is a awful president..

Some rail workers say Biden 'turned his back on us' in deal to avert rail strikePresident Biden signed into law a contract deal rejected by four rail unions because it lacks paid sick days. It left many rail workers feeling as if Biden had turned his back on them. Many Americans have never experienced 'allegiance to country' and the sacrifice that commitment entails. Maybe Congress should re-institute conscription, but for all this time? They don’t just feel it, that’s what he and the Democratic Party actually did. 8 of 12 railroad unions ratified the contract.

Biden signs bill to block U.S. railroad strikePresident Joe Biden signed legislation Friday to block a national U.S. railroad strike that could have devastated the American economy. POTUS, you do know come 2024. Union members are going to remember this. From the right side of the political aisle, I'd like to say thank you, sir, politically speaking. Seriously sucks for these workers, though, and I'm not the biggest union fan. They could have had paid sick leave but the provision set forth in the Senate was blocked mainly by Republicans. What happened to Republicans touting human rights? I guess that only occurs with China and not US rail workers. This is bad. This is very bad. This set's such a horrifically bad precedent for the future of bargaining, both for employees and the employers. The abuse of power from our government over the past two years is insane. When will the Biden administration be held accountable?
