Finally some union members who acknowledge and stand by their principles. How the greater organization won’t openly condemn an actual Nazi is flabbergasting.

Some unions are just full of dumb MAGA fucks.

I think another PA local and the west coast (including Nevada) and Wisconsin and Michigan all broke with national and endorsed Harris.

I read a piece about the current head of the Teamsters and he seems like he’s in bed with the all the other Magats.

Good on these locals taking matters into their own hands. The difference couldn’t be more clear:
Harris has a 98% lifetime AFL-CIO score as a Senator, worked for an administration that created thousands of union jobs, fought for protections, and walked in picket lines. Walz is a former union member who fought for paid sick leave and family and medical leave as Governor.
Trump is *at war* with unions. Vance has a giant 0% score from AFL-CIO. Trump wants anyone who goes on strike to be fired, packed courts with anti-union judges, packed boards with anti-union members, made it easier to fire workers who speak up for better pay, disqualified millions of workers from overtime pay, reduced OSHA inspectors. Trump’s Secretary of Labor was a literal union buster.
“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk. “I look at what you do. You walk in and say, ‘You want to quit?’ I won’t mention the name of the company but they go on strike and you say, ’That’s OK. You’re all gone.’”
Musk said, “Yeah,” and laughed while Trump was talking.

As they should.
Unions were born there and represent the exact same values 150 years later.

Good! I said some stuff about Teamsters that apparently doesn’t apply to all of them.

Honestly, while a national endorsement would be good for headlines, I feel like these local endorsements will be more impactful in actually motivating voters.

Teamsters Local 238 in Iowa endorsed Harris/Walz today too.

Is this as big as I feel like it could be? Could this make a noticeable difference in the most important state of the election?

How could we boycott the “Dumbfuck Teamsters?”
If they want to cut off their own dicks, how can we, as concerned Americans help these shitheads?

Trillionaire Musk declared workers obsolete and before excepting Project 2025’s Efficiency Czar Position to replace Teamsters (and everyone else) with AI Robotics in Speed Train Tunnels and “remigrating” the obsolete workforce to colonize Mars on Space Force X as single largest Govt Employee on US Military Industrial Payroll. All while personally impregnating Taylor Swift and presumably with Teamsters and useless cat ladies help, repopulate Mars by 2050!
NLRB and basic concepts of Workers Rights, Occupational Safety, Fair Pay, Health, Pension and Profit Share are at stake! Musk wants to pay Teamsters and the 99% a Basic Resplacement Income. Has anyone seen the ‘Basic Concept of a Plan’ yet?

It’s concerning that the national union won’t support her. They were strongly pro-Biden back in June, they now show an even stronger support for Trump

[There are PAGES](https://aflcio.org/press/releases/donald-trumps-catastrophic-and-devastating-anti-labor-track-record) of lists of anti-union actions by Trump.
The dilemma with Teamsters is like a family with their house on fire debating between a firefighter and an arsonist. It’s insane.
A Divided Union Paradox
*Sí*, *se* puede!
Fuck yea!
Harris cast the deciding vote to break the tie to restore the Teamsters’ pensions, too. Wow.
Watch more chapters go their own way and endorse her … the national leadership is full Russian mob influence.
Didn’t the democrats restore the teamsters pension?
Specifically wasn’t Harris the deciding vote after every republican voted against it, she broke the tie?
No sarcasm, if Im wrong please correct me but this is my understanding of the situation.
Balls boys.
