Overwhelmingly backed Biden over 2-1 just before the coup.
Now they poll 2-1 in fav of Trump over Harris
(The brass refuses to officially support either candidate)

... government workers. Not hard to get the loyalty from the ones that depend on you.
You really don't get how you constantly acknowledge just the opposite of what you intend.

I love it when peole support candidates that say they are going to destroy you then cry when they do what they said they were gonna do. They always think its gonna be somebody else an it will never affect them. And they like the sound of that. But then when it does affect them they cry. Like the teacher in Wisconsin crying on TV "I voted for Scott Walker but I didn't vote for this" So when Trump sits down with Musk praise him for being a union buster and saying he would fire striking workers (which is illegal by the way) I can't really blame the Teamsters for not just gushing over Trump. But don't worry. The carpenters will be along shortly. They will suck the dick that's in front of them to curry favor. Just last week a Trump appointed Judge sided with an employer and said the NLRB was unconstitutional. But yes. The Unions and their members should 100% kiss the ring and hope that it only happens to someone else. Becasue eff them I'm bettwr than they are. I not we is the exact opposite of Unionism.

That teacher’s union endorsed Hillary in the 2016 election, Kerry in the 2004 election, and Gore in the 2000 election. And of course Obama. So the teacher’s unions are a non-issue. They’ll always endorse the Democrat. Even the ones that lose. The Teamsters, on the other hand, have endorsed every Democrat back to Gore. Its a pretty big deal that they’re not endorsing a Democrat this time.

Hoffa hated Kennedy. Not just a strong dislike. He hated him. He hated every millionaires son

The leaders have endorsed for quite a while but rank and file have been voting R for a while. The only thing different about this situation is the the dirty laundry is being aired in public.
Most unions will send out a questionnaire to the candidates. I wonder if the Teamsters did that this cycle.

Overwhelmingly backed Biden over 2-1 just before the coup. Now they poll 2-1 in fav of Trump over Harris (The brass refuses to officially support either candidate) I thought you were more clever and intelligent than that....
The Brass... Meaning Sean O’Brien was the driving force in forcing no endorsement... The Same Sean O'Brien that got a prime time speaking spot directly from Trump at the RNC...
But That is not the big picture.... Before you spoke... you should have looked at the joint councils of Teamsters... Which have the REAL power in the Teamsters union.... The major joint councils of Teamsters... Have in fact endorsed Harris...
Harris so far... has the endorsement of the following Joint Councils of Teamsters.
Teamsters Joint Council 43 in Michigan, And they have not only Enthusiastically voted to endorse Harris... But all Down ballot democrats... All the way down to the local level.
Teamsters Joint Council 39 in Wisconsin, Endorses Harris
Teamsters Joint Council 7 and Joint Council 42 this represents 300,000 members across California, Hawaii, Guam and Nevada.
Teamsters’ National Black Caucus Endorses Harris
Teamsters Joint Council 40 in PA... Endorses Harris
Other Teamsters Locals and Joint Councils are joining on.... Presidents of some of the larger joint councils are calling into to question the vote that Sean O'Brien claims..
Sean O'Brien will be lucky to make it to election day to remain the National President of the Teamsters...
Maybe Trump will give him a job... Because he sold out his union and his soul to trump.

"Internal polling shows a majority of members support Trump over Harris."
From The Front Page this morning.......... Not so sure what it says about members or their leaders but that the rank and file is out of step with leadership is the news here. Darn hard to parse it away.

I know quite a few teachers and I can say that the majority do not support Harris. As a matter of fact they are embarrassed by her as all women should be.

It's odd, Trump is now being supported by Elon Musk, who apparently hates unions. UAW hits Musk, Trump with federal labor charges over union-busting comments
The United Auto Workers filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their comments applauding the practice of firing employees who threaten to strike. Under federal law, it is illegal to fire workers who threaten to strike. Trump has been vying for the labor vote in the presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris, though the UAW has already endorsed the vice president. The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday filed federal labor charges with the National Labor Relations Board against former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk for publicly applauding the practice of firing employees who threaten to strike. “I look at what you do,” Trump said to Musk during a two-hour interview Monday night on X, the social media platform Musk owns. “You walk in, you say, ‘You want to quit?’ They go on strike,” Trump said to Musk, who also is CEO of the EV car maker Tesla and of SpaceX. The UAW, which represents more than 400,000 autoworkers, has already endorsed Harris. But another major U.S. labor union, the Teamsters, has yet to make an endorsement. www.cnbc.com/2024/08/13/musk-trump-uaw-labor-union-x-interview.html
