And Biden did that without a secret dinner meeting.

How could any labor union even consider endorsing someone who has time and again proven how they feel about unions?

This was done through the ARPA and the Butch Lewis Act in 2021. Not an executive order. But definitely a great thing for union pension plans. 29 House R's and 0 Senate R's voted for this, with VP Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

We in the labor movement have spent years trashing dems for always stabbing us in the back, but here's one of the rare instances when politicians did the absolute right thing and the people who should be most thankful turned their backs. It's gross.

I'm waiting to hear from the GEB, those with JC's should endorse Harris at the least. There are local races to consider.

Question I get most often now from other union members: "What the F*** is going on with the Teamsters?"

[QUOTE=Koldiww;n151799]The level of betrayal for personal ego enhancements cannot be disregarded by the Teamster membership and especially their elected Local Union leaders. The GEB has exhibited no guts, and remains silent, thereby endorsing the irresponsible actions of O'Brian. This single act, after Biden kept his word, has destroyed Teamster credibility, maybe forever! If the members disregard this, our union will continue to die a slow death.

The Teamsters International political program is in complete meltdown. Kamala Harris is surging, while we look like traitors to the entire labor movement, turning our back on the one politician that saved our pensions, which everyone knew were hopelessly failing. We've taken a very public hit to our credibility, and shown we can not be trusted. Who would have guessed this GEB could be so cowardly.
