We must support all Unions to help all workers because it is pretty obvious by now that neither Party is going to lift a finger to give us Universal Healthcare as a right, parental leave, proper voting rights. Unions are in a better position to curb the excesses of the rich.
Hang in there, it will get worse before it gets better!
But what's that about 'a cloud of ignominy' for Biden? You do mention "his" NRLB, right? Any cloud of ignominy is a figment of the opposition or its handmaiden for the last year, editors and owners of big news organizations.
We the people are, if we've been paying attention, aware of the many excellent things Biden accomplished despite the dreadful anti-Americans (plural) opposition he faced throughout his term. If you don't want to lose people like me, who expect the truth all across the board, please stop repeating Republican tropes.
No politician will ever do everything you want. Whining, or call it letting off steam, in private is understandable but to my mind it's better to be thankful for those who do so much good especially when it wasn't at all easy.
One more thing: Sarcasm being hard to convey without facial expressions, you might want to avoid starting a sentence with 'thanks to' - and use 'discredit to' instead - for the likes of Sinema and Manchin.
Ignominy refers to the public chastening or shame and I don’t think there’s any doubt that Biden is leaving the White Houss as a historically unpopular figure who, it is emerging, experienced cognitive issues throughout his presidency yet still ran for a long shot re-election. That — along with his policy on Israel — has nothing to do with Republican opposition or conservative media.
I did not call him a failure or say that he’s leaving in disgrace or anything like that — and in fact gave him credit for his strong support for organized labor and what it has spawned. You probably won’t find other coverage of these strikes that give him that much credit.
I also picked up on the sentence regarding Manchin & Sinema as I was reading this essay. Perhaps better wording might have been: "No thanks to..."
I'm not paying for "news" that bashes Biden. "Ignominy"?

Solidarity!
Yay for the young people and support of unions. Solidarity matters!
Thanks for a fine review of the labor situation.

RJM, thank you!
