Who will the teamsters endorse.

[Thebrownblob]

Publicly coming out and saying we're not endorsing anyone, and stating that our membership supports Trump is a big move, it's basically a republican endorsement without having to put off a large froup of members. I'm good with it, poor leadership would be just letting it go by unnoticed.

Poor leadership would’ve been never releasing those poll numbers, I’m still shocked he did.

Well this will probably be his first and only term as the teamsters president

I don't know man, there are a lot of teamsters who were begging for this kind of change.

Perhaps, or He’ll win by landslide.

Understood. My only point with pulling your union card is that it may make a point to the Teamsters but ultimately will hurt the workers more and give UPS more leverage (to me that juice isn’t worth the squeeze). I agree with a lot you said though. I was there 33 years and saw the same contracts too.

O’Brien was gonna be hated no matter what he did. The Dems are definitely more labor friendly but the members support Trump more. I support his decision here. But even if you think I’m stupid for that it’s ok (we’re still Teamsters together)

No I don't think you're stupid I think you bring up some valid points as well. I'm just saying I can see it from both sides. I myself don't agree with either party in a lot of things hence the independent voter. And I'm pretty sure most of these people that are threatening to pull their union cards would bring it back if they rectified what they feel is a slight to the majorities wants.

We got a lot of good things in this contract

Unfortunately these young people are too stupid to realize what we did not get


Job protection and pension increases
But honestly I don't give a crap anymore

Oddly, this contract is my least favorite thing about him. But, like you said, these kids are just gonna see $50/hr.

How many Teamsters were eligible to vote and what was the vote count?

You had to put your name local and last four digits of your Social Security number. Supposedly 40,000.

No you don't. 5 more

OK. 40,000 voted. How many Teamsters are there in the US?

You do understand how sampling works correct? They don’t poll every American in the country either. The poll is very significant. The Democrats would be wise to take notice.
