“All union money goes dem.”

A men to that. From personal experience, any union, just like the media, is just another extension of the rat party. What ever union money does not get raked into union boss pockets goes to the dems.

“Schaitberger bluntly admits Clinton just did not connect with labor, but Biden does.”

Why?! Because he’s a dumb as a hammer?

Biden sounded like such a buffoon trying to convince attendees at his rally that the economy was really not doing well.

“The stock market is booming but you can’t feel it.”

In one poll, 70% of voters said they were in financially better shape than they were one year ago.

Convincing voters that something they know to be true is not is going to be tough sledding for joe. He’s already slurring speech after a few days.

“Trump is bitter”. Lolololol *takes a breath* lolololol

So the corporate union HEADS are for Biden. Big deal. S**tberger always comes out for Dems. The rank and file are firmly in Trump camp. I don’t think PDJT cares about who a union endorses. He has the everyday folks. That’s who really matters to him.

he is in a battle for the soul of his party

That battle was lost years ago.

“Joe Biden’s been a big part of the way we think...”

So they don’t think at all.

Maybe the top echelon endorsed Biden, but I figure the rank and file will ignore that. It’s been a long time since the union members took voting orders from their leadership. They did for JFK, but now not so much.

Irrelevant.

Biden will not win the nomination.

Democrats do not want a union supporter (those are dirty jobs)

Democrats want a single-payer, socialist who is not white, not male and half of Biden’s age.

Didn’t most unions endorse Clinton in 2016, only have most of the rank and file vote Trump?

Is there any way a union can root out their leadership?

I was in HR all my life at my company's manufacturing plant that was UAW and the answer is no.

It starts at the shop level with the Stewards then the Committeemen then the Local President then over to Solidarity House and up. At the plant level it's local elections then to get to Solidarity House it becomes political and who you know.

Last year there was a major scandal with the UAW's top bargaining committee and Chrysler with a couple UAW members taking kickbacks from Chrysler and spending enormous amounts of money on junkets.

The UAW gal that was convicted used to work in the shop at my plant and only got to Solidarity because of who she knows.

She was never the brightest bulb in the box but yet not only got to Solidarity but became a member of their chief bargaining committee.........

I was IBEW for 38 years. Just recently at a union meeting, we were told we were losing jobs due to our coal fired plants shutting down. I pointedly remarked that the IBEW had endorsed Obama. The dumbazzes couldn’t make the connection!

Is there any way a union can root out their leadership? I’ve never been in a union, and not familiar with the inner workings.

There was a union leader in the coal miners back in the 60s that tried to run against the corrupt bosses, and the union crooks {W. A. tony Boyle} bought some hit men, had him and his wife and his daughter murdered. His sons were away at college.

Look up Jock Yablonski, miners union, 1969.

It's very telling that Biden made this appearance with a public sector union instead of the UAW or a similar organization. Public sector unions are the only ones the Democrats haven't already worked to destroy when they made their Faustian bargain in the 1990s to adopt a full-bore globalist agenda.

Nobody with half a brain could ever believe that Joe Biden is better than Donald Trump for Americans who don't work for government.

It probably hit around the time this perp endorsed Algore. I’m out.

That's a good reason to dislike someone. I needed more context than just his last name. Haha.

It’s a classic troll. Separate the leadership from the rank and file and be the firefighters’ voice where they are not able to speak anymore as a body.

I think they vote Trump as well.

The unions are as crooked as the Demoncrats.

Schaitberger bluntly admits Clinton just did not connect with labor, but Biden does.

Yeah. Biden connects with everyone. Particularly little girls and women.
