The International Association of Fire Fighters, a politically powerful labor union, has abandoned its initial plans to endorse Democrat Hillary Clinton for U.S. president, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Citing union sources, the Times said the Clinton campaign was told on Monday by IAFF President Harold Schaitberger that there was not enough support on the union’s board or its rank-and-file members for an endorsement of the Democratic front-runner.

Annnnd, I agree with your statement.

That’s only one RAT controlled outlet. When I see it reported on the alphabet networks and newspapers across the country then maybe it will be a big deal.

To: drop 50 and fire for effect
Trump has a lot of union member support.

As a delegate for a large northeast metropolitan firefighter union, the rank and file ALWAYS had issues with their leaderships endorsements.

Sadly, the signal to noise ratio on FR is horrible, what with every two-bit clickbait site being flogged under News.

Translation: the board could have been bought off, but it would have caused massive rebellion by the membership.

Someone let me know if i have it wrong but most on the right are not against unions per se...unless they are government funded?

I’m a retired U.A.W. member and have never voted for a democrat in my life.
