So it was all a bribe, paying off their political team?

One hand washes the other. It’s how these things are done. If the unions don’t want to play ball, there’s plenty of ways to make things hard on them. Both on the leadership AND the membership. They made their bed. Kamala will remember this.

Yeah she’ll remember all the local Teamsters unions endorsing her.

Leadership doesn't think either candidate is better for unions. Membership is split. 60-40 one way or the other is huge in an election, but not huge for justifying an endorsement.
They weren't impressed by Biden during the Railway strike.

Does anyone have a well-documented argument for why leadership or membership is making a mistake?

Abortion doesn't count; that's not Teamsters responsibility, even if individual members find it important for non-union reasons.



Seriously? What a joke.


Which administration has let in millions of new workers that compete with and depress wages of American workers?? Hmmm I wonder why a union wouldn't endorse such a candidate.


Which administration saved the Teamster's pensions? Why won't any of you MAGA answer this question?


Not sure who you asked before but the answer to your question doesn't seem to matter to Teamster leadership.

By the way, your response sounds very quid pro quo. Should groups be compelled to provide political support if a piece of legislation is passed in their favor?

Is this like when people like you ask “what’s in it for men to vote for Democrats”?

Different groups within the Teamsters are endorsing Harris, including some of the battleground states.

yes


We know they would have bc they already did! And that was before Biden-Harris bailed out the pensions.

Awful.


They endorsed Biden before Biden / Harris let in millions of workers who are willing to work for far below what a union worker has negotiated. You're harping on pensions but depressing wages and making the job market more competitive during the working years isn't supportive of American workers.

Good to know you think our government should be bought by groups with the biggest pockets.

Bit off their noses to spite their faces. Couldn’t stand voting for a woman and a POC at that. Good luck to them.


They endorsed Obama and Hillary.

Ungrateful jerks. Biden approved billions of tax dollars to save their pensions. Hope they like their life under Trump/Vance who are happy to union bust.
