Hoffa to blame for Trump getting elected!

[BrownArmy]

Pretty sure the UPS Teamster vote had literally nothing to with with Trumps' win.

Joining? Where have you been the last few years? With control of both houses of Congress and the Executive office, they won't bother merely altering the Taft Hartley act to enforce national right to work.
They'll repeal the NLRA, and no one will have any union protection.
You now have a business man as President, business backed Congress and soon to be a business friendly Supreme Court.
Few people realize what this election really means...

It's been a while since I heard the numbers, but I remember a DRIVE rep stating that either Public Sector RTW (which we only held onto because Scalia died before the court rendered a decision) or National RTW (both very likely to happen at this point) would cut membership by something like 30%.

...and vice versa...

 

[LeadBelly]

He won't need to push very hard at all with the Congress he has...

Labor and unions are under attack times 1,000 now.

 

[LeadBelly]

Labor will lose more in the. Ext two years because of Trump. It will be so sad for family's and the people that truly love unions.

The union's won't go away... but the current members need to step up

They've been going away for years.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

They've been going away for years.

Instead of endorsing candidates, the union should use that money and resources to organize new members.

But what do I know?

Not necessarily a bad thing.

We use DRIVE to endorse candidates and lobby, and dues money to organize.
I can't work the other way around.

Seems like the use some of our dues money to endorse also.

I never read that IRB report?

It's illegal to do so.

When you have Obama in the cover if the Teamsters magazine, who paid for that?

Or when you seen the Teamsters Tractor trailer driving around with Obama signs on it, who paid for that?

 

[UniteandWin]

Your right to organize, your right to strike, overtime, FLMA, 40 hour week, NLRB, the weekend, payed holidays, paid vacations, so on and so on. You will feel it and you will feel it hard in the next 4 years

Member education on political issues is legal for unions to spend dues money on. Unions should do this to get members more involved and educated.

Is spending 30k to TDU the same thing?

Wake up, unions are doomed now.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Wake up, unions are doomed now.

You would think that when you went to a union meeting

Say bye bye to your pension then genius.
