The Spin

Republican narrative

Democrats like to boast about how pro-union they are, but that unconditional support has empowered this all-too-powerful union to implement an economy-stifling strike. If Biden really had the workers’ well-being in mind his administration would have done more to prevent this walk-out that is going to crush the economy and, hopefully, his reelection chances.

Democratic narrative

Republicans have stood by for decades while these companies’ profits and executive compensation have skyrocketed — far outpacing employee compensation and benefits. Pres. Biden and the Democrats are doing what they can to help the workers but the only ones to blame here are the exploitive companies and their GOP allies.
