minus-squarerc__buggy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up75arrow-down1·3 days agoIt’s bullshit on it’s face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop. So the guy is just lying about that, of course there’s no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster’s face.
