Looks like the Teamsters are in for a series of visits from IRS agents and FBI agents after this.

Probably so.

I hope we have people taking down names and what the people
have participated in.

I would be really careful about that if I were the IRS or the FBI. The Teamsters wouldn't take such intimidation lying down.

Any union that stays with the Democrat after what the Biden/Obama administrations have done to the working class does not have the interest of their membership as their first concern.

Teamsters Union = Organized Crime

Repeal the 1935 National Labor Relations Act now. That’s all that stands between labor unions being charged with conspiracy to commit extortion and price fixing every time they call a labor strike.

He didn’t have to but that was the gist of it. Go listen again to his speech with that in mind and I think you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you don’t see, then read some literature on communism.

Not being a smartass to you, just some advice.

I watched the speech in its entirety.

The only unions that concern me are the public unions which are funded by taxation in the obvious absence of representation.

As a lifelong practicing capitalist since me teens, I’m well aware of the effects of unionism. Never cared for it recognizing the quasi-communistic traits you eluded to. But why shouldn’t a group of employees make their remunerations & benefits a combined set of terms for the effective relationship between the group as a whole and the company? To me, that’s free negotiation. The unacceptable possibility is of course the inability for the individual to negotiate independently of the group.

BTW, should the corporation and union fail to meet the demands of the marketplace, that’s too bad. Don’t care.

All of the "Fat Cat" and "CEOs getting rich at the expense of the working man" stuff is class warfare SOP.

However, he has a point about big business making profits at the expense of the American worker by shipping jobs overseas.

That is Trump Populism.

To those guys the slightest criticism of hedge funds, the globalist chamber of commerce, and corporate executives, and the slightest mention of the working class in America is “communist”.

I had a excellent job, and they closed the plant down because of the Union. They got a little bit too greedy.
