I’m a former union pipefitter. The United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters puts out a monthy magazine. In 1984, I got my election edition and my dad who was staunchly anti union started in about unions backing Democrats. But the UA, even though they didn’t endorse Reagan, knew their members did, so they wrote that each member should vote for the candidate that they felt was best for them and their families.

My dad was shocked, but the UA knew Reagan had turned the country around.

It’s a choice between real job opportunities with Pres. Trump, or chicken sh*t jobs with Biden.

Literally chicken sh*t jobs. Biden was rambling on about those chicken sh*t jobs again last night.

In the 80’s I was working as a member of The International Laborers Union Of North America in NYC.

Although the union leadership professed support for Democrats the rank and file was being told to vote for Reagan.
