Just because their union endorsed Biden, doesn't mean the 300 workers did.
There's also a ton of economic collateral damage to the local community when 300 people lose their jobs at a factory.

They continued to support the union despite that unions endorsement. There are steps they could have taken to reign it in. Instead they looked away for the paycheck and the pension. It caught up to them.
From what I'm reading, it looks like union membership was a term of employment - they didn't have a choice if they wanted the job. It's called a "closed shop".
The United Steal Workers Union, with 1.2 million members, endorsed Biden. That's hardly a reason to place blame on those 300 workers in a town with a population under 3,000 when we have no idea who they actually voted for.
We often see unions and Democrats siding together. What union members have failed to grasp is that unions and Democrats want the same thing, but from different angles.
They both want workers controlled and dependent, but they each maneuver to gain control of the lives of workers.
This was a big loss for unions and a big gain for Biden and the welfare system.
The factory workers? Fuck them. They are just pieces on the game board.

The typo of "United Steal Workers" in connection to endorsing Biden has me giggling. Or was that on purpose?
