I don’t think the union itself will endorse Trump. I think they are upset that the rank and file aren’t on board with the union leadership.
I’m sure the “leadership” (a term I use loosely when describing the nominal heads of unions) is all in the bag for Hillary. Or even Bernie. If the rank-and-file are Trump supporters, there’s a schism there that a wise politician could exploit.
Yes, thats it.
Look at Marxist\Lenninst theory. You have a leadership cadre (”Vanguard”) that controls and directs the proletariat. For it’s own good. Because it’s too stupid to think and do what’s in it’s own best interests.
The SEIU leadership, who are non-worker, far Left “Progressives” (ie Marxist Vanguard) are scared and ticked that their members may walk into voting booths and cast their votes against the direction of leadership.
And we need to understand the meaning of “one-on-one” discussions, which is the big and very chilling point being made. The SEIU boss is acknowleging identification and direct intimidation of those seeking to go off the Union reservation on election day.
