Today, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced its endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president.
The Teamsters General Executive Board unanimously voted to endorse the former senator and secretary of state.
“We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States,” said Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country. She will stand strong for the workers of America by fighting to reject job-killing trade deals, enforcing labor laws and working to provide retirement security for millions of people who have sacrificed so much for the chance to retire with dignity.” …

The Teamsters can thank the Democrats for that big pension cut they got.
What can be expected from thugs and thieves?
Great News!
One corrupt organization endorses another corrupt organization!
I worked for years with James P’s cousin (the dead Jimmy was his uncle). Looked exactly like the dead Jimmy Hoffa.
Great guy, totally different personality and a staunch conservative.
OK. Clearly the teamster union honcho thugs and mugs expect to personally profit from such an endorsement with Clinton corruption —as it will be of no benefit to real teamsters.
How is this possible every election cycle?
One organized crime enterprise endorses another.
That’s SO 21st century America...
Corrupt Teamster bosses endorsing their bossy corrupt queen. Yawn.
Predictable, if they had thrown their support to Trump I’d be worried. Problem is with the teamsters and many other unions the rank n’file in the unions has an unhistoricaly high percentage of support for the Republican candidate, high as 50% I’ve heard.
Thugs supporting criminal thugs. Whatever.
They go together like a horse and carriage.
Allies of the Clinton Family Crime Family.
‘Hillary probably knows where Jimmy, Sr. is.
Yeah the BIG bosses are, but the little guys aren’t they are Trump People...
Amazing, huh? I have that in my family, too. But not one has said they would be voting for Hillary. I imagine a few will be going for the green party, the Vegans in the family...
Get the idea that they’re lying to ya, eh?
I can’t prove I but I’d bet no more than ten percent of teamsters will vote for Mrs Corrupt. Especially with Obama’s latest attack on the trucking industry
Because nobody GOP — not even Ronald Reagan — had chutzpah like Donald Trump.
Makes total sense...the union leadership is obviously racist.
The reason there are fewer teamsters union members is that their leadership backs democrats like Clinton.
Glad I got out of that outfit.
