Joe Biden’s accomplishments in 47 years of Politics....

[Jeff Niceswanger]

I like who he put in as the head of the NLRB (Video below). The Labor Department had been gutted by Trump. He filled it with corporate lawyers and big shots from wall street. Trump put Scalia in charged. He was a big profile wall street attorney, that helped wall street, but also got several high profile union cases reversed before Trump hired him to lead the NLRB ( National Labor Relations Board which is the "Supreme Court" of Labor) "Walmart verses Maryland". The state was suing Walmart, demanding they either insure their people, or give them enough wages to pay for healthcare themselves, as Maryland was tired of all the Walmart employees getting on Maryland Medicaid and the state having to pick up all their healthcare cost. Or the class action disabled UPS workers suit that was going to make UPS install less repetitive equipment so workers were not ending up with carpal tunnel injuries, Scallia called those types of injury's "poppycock". Or the fact that after filling the Labor Department with company lawyers, three decades (25 cases) worth of precedent setting cases were overturned, reversed..., every single case in favor of huge corporations and against unions. They were working on making the entire country Right to Work. Trump had ask for a NATIONAL Right to Work bill, which is a death spiral for any type of labor organizations, but of course he could not get it through the House. I could go on and no here, how bad he was for labor, but bottom line unions were not going to exist if he got his way. I owe my entire livelihood to the fact that throughout my 43 year career, I was able to bargain for a good wage, benefits, including good healthcare, and a pension. I know that of all the people I race with, I'm in the super minority. I know of about 5 of us guys. So, the question was ask in this thread, What has Biden done? Watch the video, and keep in mind he's been on the side of labor his entire career. As far as I'm concerned, this is 100 percent better than the direction the last guy was pulling us.

He has become a billionaire after a lifetime of "pubic service" (public service definded as the public serving politicians) on a government "employee" pay scale.

He is the Warren Buffett investing (must be a savvy investor because he has never produced so much as a "as seen on TV" widget) mini-me of the District of Corruption.

I really don't like to debate too many post at once but ok.
Grey Ghost doesn't say who is talking about, but I'm thinkin president elect Joe Biden. Who said he is a billionaire? I did a quick search and got this from Forbes.


In all, Joe is reportedly worth $9 million at present, which is significantly more than earlier in his career. This number, from Forbes and calculated in 2019, is based on a total portfolio of $4 million in real estate (Joe and wife Jill Biden own two homes in Delaware), cash/investments worth $4 million, and a federal pension worth more than $1 million. The Bidens released their tax returns from 2016 to 2018, which showed that they paid about a third of their income in taxes in 2017 and 2018 ($3.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively), and that they donated a significant amount to charity in 2017 and 2018 ($1 million and $275,000, respectively).


Wut?

Jeff, I am sure you know were I stand on these issues. I came from a Union family, my father was president of his local Steelworkers, I was a member of the Labors and my wife is a card carrying member of the Operating Engineers. Last year she recovered $445,000 in wages snd benefits from non signatory companies that do not comply with prevailing wage laws. She retired from the state of California as a Deputy Labor Commissioner, she averaged about 60 cases a year. These cases involved everything from no workers comp, no overtime, human trafficking etc. I trust this administration with be a lot more labor friendly and more forward with rebuilding the infrastructure of this country.

Jeff, I am a card carrying union member 45 years, my local serves the Oil and Gas industry, Mining, coal power, and military. Why would the Rank and File support a party that wants to shut all of these entities down. I know how the Union bosses vote they will sell there Freedom and Liberty for a good contract. Labor is a moot point when the jobs are shipped to China. Or the gates are opened and we are flooded with a 3rd world uneducated labor force.

Great post.

Unions no longer have control over their people. Millions of members support Trump for good reason.

Trump has taken labor from the democrats who did nothing but trample on them for decades outsourcing their jobs, importing illegals by the millions, ruining industry and taking away trade schools.

What did they call members when they began supporting Trump? Deplorables, white supremacists and whatever terrible name they could come up with. Funny how they were great people and the salt of the earth before 2015.

The democrats have done the same thing to black people who are leaving the party in droves. They call them every terrible name in the book. It's despicable.

To say that China Joe supports labor is a bad joke.

I love how Union people say that Joe supports labor. He certainly does. He supports China where slave labor is pretty much the only labor they have. So much for looking out for their brothers.
