Rank and file union members are abandoning the Democrat party en masse in recent years. It's not just a Trump thing, they just hate the union leadership and Democrat policies that are destroying American jobs is all. |
Is the Teamsters the largest union in existence in the USA? |
No, the NEA and the SEIU are much bigger. |
Never even heard of those until looked them up. Everyone has heard of Teamsters. Why the difference? |
The Teamsters was controlled by the mob. |
So Hollywood movies about the Mafia and the Teamsters. Guessing Hollywood was involved with both, if they funded movies about them, which was basically a PR campaign for them both. |
Or perhaps they are voting in their interest and you don't really understand the situation? There has to be a reason Union members have abandoned the Democrat party more and more each year since NAFTA. |
Teamsters is 4th largest by membership https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_labor_unions_in_the_United_States NEA 3M+ SEIU 1.9M+ AFSCME 1.46M+ Teamsters 1.4M |
This terrifies anti union organizations because if unions start moving to the GOP and the right, then they will need to be accommodated. Groups like Heritage and the Mackinac Center have a deep and irrational hatred of organized labor. That said, unions, when combined, have a hell of a lot more power and influence than a bunch of jabrones from Hillsdale. |
You’re asking us why you’re ignorant? |
Fox News stoking white culture grievances that elevates social issues while billionaires and corporatists pick clean the pocket of the middle class. It has nothing to do with NAFTA. |
Happily voting to screw themselves over? Yes, yes they are. If you seriously believe that, then perhaps you should either get help, an education, or get out in the real world with non-rich people like yourself. |
