What a fricking cop out.

frick the Teamsters Executive Board.

Nearly 2/3 of your members support Trump.

I guaranfrickingtee you that if the numbers were reversed, they’d wholeheartedly endorse Commala.


Exactly...why not just take a vote of the membership and go with it? It would be a ringing endorsement for Trump.

LOL, only reason why they won't endorse is because a vast majority of their members want Trump, but they are beholden to the Dem overlords.

What a fricking joke.

The rank and file should stand up and boot the leadership.

Which means they’re endorsing Trump.

yep, the candy comes from the dems for the union leaders. Face it, Republicans need to start liking unions, the GOP is becoming the party of the working class.

Union executive boards don't care about their members, they only care about collecting union dues.

They are letting their members go to the polls in November to show the democrats “think you don’t need us? We will show you.”

Open boarders, attacks on 1st and 2nd amendments , attacks on faith and family, and taxes.

I would, but I can't. This is basically just them saying they prefer to endorse Biden but their members want Trump, so they don't want to get in the middle of it for once.

frick unions.

No respect for them. See how they ignore their members who overwhelmingly endorse Trump

The only reason they’re not endorsing either candidate is because Donald Trump was leading among their members

They may not be bluntly saying it, but they posted the poll results on Twitter and that was pretty damning against Kamala considering they showed the union poll numbers from before Biden dropped out, Kamala pre-debate, and Kamala post-debate.

Them releasing those internal poll numbers publicly is a pretty damning statement against Kamala. I'll take that over an endorsement that only comes from the top brass.

Biden vs Trump was 44-36 Biden

Kamala vs Trump was 58-31 Trump (after the debate)

That's as good as a wholehearted endorsement of Trump.

I think the reason is because they know their leftist members will lose their shite.

We all know who the members want, thanks to their polling data. No need to risk more leftist violence over an endorsement that hardly needs to be given at this point.

I heard bad things about those who work for the Teamsters, although not as bad as the UFCW.

Anyone ever work for them that would like to share their experience?
