It’s just republicans trying to politic to their base by misconstruing the facts. Fact is republicans have always been anti-labor. While, unfortunately democrats don’t campaign well on their actual accomplishments for working people and tend to expect those accomplishments to stand for themselves. This is also why republicans are mostly dumb and tend to believe whatever the most reactionary (and loud) voice in the room tells them is true, even while those same people stab them in the back while lying to their face.
It’s fallout from breaking a big railroad workers strike last year. Breaking a strike is a BIG DEAL, so there’s a lot of well-earned mistrust about his dedication to union power. The anti-union-busting thing is a pretty damn good change, but saying “you can’t strike” cuts at the very heart of worker power and kind of eclipses it.
We’ve learned that words are meaningless without follow through. The NLRB change is great, but until it actually starts being enforced there isn’t anything to get excited about.

I’m referring to the comments in this thread, though. They’re all bashing Biden despite the NLRB thing.

That bar is so low, it was buried and rotting before the first millennial was born.
