Black voters continue to be loyal to Democrats, but there are signs that support continues to erode.
But under Biden some massive accomplishments have happened like the recent NLRB ruling. Something not on par with, but close to the ball park of passing civil rights. And it isn’t isolated. They’ve done a lot within the system to help a lot of people.
This is a big deal! Thank you for bringing it to our attention:
the Board ruled that when a majority of a company’s employees file union affiliation cards, the employer can either voluntarily recognize their union or, if not, ask the Board to run a union recognition election. If, in the run-up to or during that election, the employer commits an unfair labor practice, such as illegally firing pro-union workers (which has become routine in nearly every such election over the past 40 years, as the penalties have been negligible), the Board will order the employer to recognize the union and enter forthwith into bargaining.
The Cemex decision was preceded by another, one day earlier, in which the Board, also along party lines, set out rules for representation elections which required them to be held promptly after the Board had been asked to conduct them, curtailing employers’ ability to delay them, often indefinitely.
Taken together, this one-two punch effectively makes union organizing possible again, after decades in which unpunished employer illegality was the most decisive factor in reducing the nation’s rate of private-sector unionization from roughly 35 percent to the bare 6 percent at which it stands today.
I guess this explains the rise in labor organizations and strikes recently.
Definitely! I’m quite left. Heavily socialist. And outside of a few social policies. Democrats really do nothing for me. But it’s crazy how little the actual things they accomplish and get recognized. The national labor relations board change was kind of Earth shattering. I’ve been plenty displeased with biden’s current Israel Gaza response. Though I think it was expected and understandable to an extent. But he’s been far better than a lot of a thought he would.
