Thank you.

When George Bush exercised his right to remain silent and did not endorse, he was roundly condemned on this forum as a coward.

It works both ways.

I'm sick of "endorsements"; only morons are influenced by them.

After all the decades of car manufacturing and unions, why don’t the Teamsters own pieces of a few car companies by now? Then everyone would be working with the same goal instead of being enemies.

About time?

I don’t get unions. The US was flooded by cheap labor that will undercut the wages of its members and diminish its power. And by Biden/Harris.

The union leadership are probably not affected by the mass illegal immigration so maybe that is the reason.

“ The union leadership are probably not affected by the mass illegal immigration so maybe that is the reason.”

Once you’ve sold yourself to the Marxists (Democrat Party), you stay bought, If you want to remain upright and breathing. The Union leadership has a better understanding of this than most.

Another useless union that should have gone away with Jimmy Hoffa.

The union leadership just screwed themselves as the overwhelming Teamster membership will be voting for Trump.

Yes that is how I see it too. In 1972 the Teamsters endorsed President Nixon AND the AFL-CIO endorse no one for president.

You don’t know?
Unions LOVE illegals!
Americans have standards, and tend to not vote against their own interest.
But illegals just want the union wages, if the union ask for a vote to give them MORE of the emplyees wages the illegals response is “Si Hefe!”.

I have a brother stuck in one of the electrical workers unions in CA, he used to love them.
Then he got older, and also became the ACTUAL minority who is actively discriminated against, now he hates them, LOL!
