Don't know why you seem to be a shill for Obrien. Certainly IBT should have endorsed Harris based on records in office! Happy you had good experience in IBT but hey! other unions are organizing and negotiating just as well if not better I support IBT and almost any legitimate representative of the members. I'm a 50+ year union member and rep.

Thanks for your comment Donald. We appreciate your perspective plus your many years of service as a union rep! That's tough, sometimes thankless work.

I'm personally, I'm no longer staff of the Teamsters and not a member so I didn't have any say in the endorsement. This video was intended to share the poll results from our 20000+ subscribers and as you can see most of them believe there should have been some endorsement (and we got lots of emails saying for either Trump or Kamala).

For little my personal opinion is worth something, I'll say I do want the labor movement to get more from both parties and especially the PRO Act. That's what my article from a few days ago was meant to convey. I hope that clarifies my position.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the Republican party will do anything to destroy unions. "Right to Work" for example, and Iowa Repubs restricting what unions are able to negotiate for Public Sector workers. Trump opposing the payment of over-time. They want to, and will destroy unions because they don't want workers to have a say in their wage and benefits, or any other aspect of their work life. They want "at will" employees with no protections.

Hey TV thanks for your comment. Sounds like you're in favor of the PRO Act?
