        That article is pure “Why won’t the Left worship their Lord and Savior Joe Biden” propaganda sourced from a report by the center right to right wing Neoliberal think tank/pr arm of the DNC Center for American Progress.

        Credit for the article even mentioning the amazing Jennifer Abruzzo who did the stellar work at the NLRB that gave Biden that undeserved accolade, though.

        Usually the billionaire owned media attributes her pro-worker accomplishments to “Biden’s NLRB” or at best “the NLRB” while the guy who basically did the same thing to railway workers as Reagan (and the current fascist kakistocracy) did to air traffic controllers is hailed as the second coming of FDR 🤦

          Ok. So I see you provide no evidence that he’s ranked poorly against his peers.

          I said the bar was low.

            I’m not arguing how people incorrectly rank him based on puff pieces from the likes of CAP, the NYT, or Politico. I’m speaking of what he has actually DONE for and to workers.

            The Democratic Party and by extension Dem presidents were traditionally allies of unions and workers in general up to and including Carter. That ended when Clinton beat Bush the Elder by being more like Reagan than him.

            Biden was the second or third worst Dem president for workers in his own lifetime.

            Has there been many Republican presidents, including Trump, who have been MUCH worse for unions? Absolutely!

            Does that mean that he was any good for unions, though, let alone one of the best ever? Hell no!
