Well fortunately there is no way for them to vote against the union. They could support the hiring of scab labor if pushed by the GOP but that would very much damage current republican talking points on various subjects to include border security

Are you implying they even attempt to be consistent? The only thing that'll enter the average voter's head is "union made Christmas bad. So unions are bad." And vote for whatever anti-union props or candidates are on the ballot.

You're getting downvoted, which makes perfect sense when you consider how pro union the GOP has never ever been.

You forget that the republican strategy is to make people feel angry so they forget how powerless and afraid they are.

The conservatives would be happy to take care of that pesky union problem for you

Congress could vote to prohibit a strike and force the unions to accept the deal that Biden has brokered.
