(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.”

The Teamsters in the U.S. are nothing more than Communist whores. I despise them...

That is rich! The very people who demand the right to strike and set up picket lines are against this demonstration.

“Our economy is growing under the Biden Administration”

...and lose everyone.

The teamsters union leadership are government-controlled scabs. It’s time for members of the Teamsters to form a new union.

I remember when the Teamsters ENDORSED Reagan in 1980.

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.

I am sure that the working truckers in the convoy would be happy to have a "meaningful political discourse" with the Canadian government. That requires two sides, and the government side has expressed no interest in discourse. Capitulation is not discourse.

Freedom from government oppression is the only solution.

Economy is growing... fake news. Let’s first worry about the communist takeover, forced experimental medicine, and denying people their livelihoods by government force.
