In 1992, Joe Biden was one of only 6 senators who voted in favor of railroad workers. Now that a labor strike would embarrass him as president, he's switched sides. It doesn't have to be this way. He could make the railroads accept the labor demands, yet instead he is siding with big business. While it's true that a strike would
damage the economy, losing
the right to strike will make people
quit. That short term desire
to stop a strike at all costs will
make things worse in the long run.
