It Doesn’t Matter That Rail Union Members Are Republican

A listener writes in to say that Biden doesn't need to worry about rail workers voting against him because they're already Republican. Sam says that isn't the point. Biden's treatment of the rail workers will resonate across labor unions and greatly damage Democrats' chances with on of their most powerful voting blocks.

100 support the workers but real talk how many of those Union guys actually vote for Democrats? 40-50 percent? Just a raw political calculus. speaking specifically about the rail Union check the demographics. I get your point but I think the symbolic part and I happen to believe that they're like mainstream Democrats people in general don't care that much. They really don't. They would have cared much more about the strike happening and things. But I think for the base of the democratic party a significant portion of the base of Democratic Party is something that's going to sting for you know into the next election they got to do something about it. Most cops are union members but if I'm a Democratic president I have to go to the mat for the PBA or IP ibps versus the teachers union or SEIU. I'm not going to get beat down by a bunch of cops that don't vote for me. Yeah, but it's it I agree with you. I think even within the labor movement there's some questions about cops unions. There is no question amongst the labor you know amongst labor supporters were Railway Striker were Railway workers are so. Sam Sam's rugged good looks: Thank you not only should rail workers strike without regard to what Congress says but should every other strong union in solidarity. The problem is and I think on some level it's you know it would be nice if there was the level of support and solidarity that could sustain something like that but the moment they go on strike their unions will be fined out of existence the people can go to jail.
