The Teamsters union on Wednesday said polling shows most of its members back Republican former President Donald Trump’s bid for a new term in the White House over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 1.3 million-member union said its executive board plans to announce later on Wednesday who it is endorsing in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The union said a national electronic poll of its members from July 24-Sept. 15 showed rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.
What the hell are you talking about? The Inflation Reduction Act has tons of spending that goes to union labor. Biden’s tariffs also protect industries that have tons of union labor. What the fuck has Trump ever done to help unions?
These people literally never know what they are talking about
I think what stands out to me is the growing use of legislative power to stop strikes and remove negotiating power from unions. The most recent major example being the then pending rail strike back in 2022.
Sure Trump will be 10x worse, but the Dems really haven’t done enough to address the health and safety of these people, and to protect them from growing corporate exploitation.
I said “enough” not “nothing”. The Inflation Reduction Act goes to corpos first. Then whatever they can’t manage to skim off for themselves, will go to workers. It’s still a corpo first policy.
Replacing the parliamentarian to push through the $15 minimum wage would have been better.
