Interesting article, but I think most people who are not union members, but who are supportive of labor, will see the Teamsters as an outlier. Most of those who are union members will disregard their non-endorsement. I'll not give my opinion of O'Brien.

Yeah, its fairly clear that O'Brian very, very much is a Trump supporter. And while I am sure there is a contingent of union members who are Trumpers, it is clear that is not the majority of the union. That groups of Teamsters are tossing out Harris endorsements only makes him look worse.


Good luck union breaking Waffle House workers. They've seen ****.

Here’s Why the Teamsters Declined to Endorse Kamala Harris

The Teamsters’ refusal to endorse Kamala Harris underlines the need for the labor movement to develop a coherent political appeal to win its members over, on terms that are relevant to the vast majority of the working class.

Wages don’t increase at the same rate as productivity gains over the decades so of course they are underpaid with the gains instead going to shareholders and executives.

Vote O'Brien's ass out and get some leadership that represents your interests.

I heard Alex Wagner was doing a live show in Saginaw, MI and wanted to see what's up.

I have to say that the lack of awareness of some of the union members she spoke to was astounding. I was rather embarrassed and hope some of these young men, who only need to take their head out of their sandbox, actually start paying attention to what is going on.

"uh....I don't know.....I'm undecided because I need to hear more....uh, no, I don't know much about January 6."

I really hope these guys (and some gals too) aren't representative of union members in Saginaw. Man, I'd like to fly out there and talk to these people......

At some point you have to learn to care. I admit I didn't watch much news when I was younger. Trump running for President changed all that.

I started to pay attention in 2000 with Bush/Gore. Then in 2008 with Obama it got serious.

O'Brien both-sided Trump and Harris as his excuse on why they're staying neutral. Why? The Biden Administration have done more for unions than any admin since FDR. Tim Walz has a very Pro-union record. Trump was the exact opposite.

I started really paying attention to politics in 2008, too, when Obama ran for the first time.
