teamster.org ^ | 2/12/2022

(WASHINGTON) – The following is the official statement of Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa regarding the ongoing blockade by the Freedom Convoy protest at the United States-Canada border.

“The Teamsters Union denounces the ongoing Freedom Convoy protest at the Canadian border that continues to hurt workers and negatively impact our economy. The livelihood of working Americans and Canadians in the automotive, agricultural, and manufacturing sectors is threatened by this blockade.

“Our economy is growing under the Biden Administration, and this disruption in international trade threatens to derail the gains we have made. Our members are some of the hardest workers in the country and are being prevented from doing their jobs. The Teamsters call on the organizers of this action to end this protest and instead, engage in meaningful political discourse with the Canadian government to find a solution.”

Right on que, teamsters come out condemning the freedom rally, proving that they are nothing more than paid mouthpieces for the party thst is destroying g this country. The statement is full of asinine claims that everyone knows is false, but the unions are so wedded to the left that they will .ie cheat and steal their way through life just like the liberals in gov do. Liars lying about liars to the end

"Our economy is growing under the Biden Administration"...

...only if by "economy" they mean debt/inflation/corruption.

...but then the Teamsters (leadership) have always themselves been such "honest/upstanding" individuals

(spit)

This is about the government NOT BEING ABLE TO FORCE ANYONE TO BE INJECTED.

The "vaccines" appear to be killing people(?) and no one is looking into it

Also please note post 2.

Looks like they want to pick up scab work if there is a Truckers Strike.

Scab teamsters, go figure.

I guess the Teamsters union doesn’t believe in all of that solidarity stuff after all.

Found a good stat...only 16% of truckers are unionized.

And I imagine that will become a whole lot less in the near future.

F ing unions caused all these problems to begin with. Sending jobs to China because they demanded $40 an hour to do the work an unskilled high school kid could do.

Besides, who cares what corrupt mobster union heads say.
