One labor journalist called his comments regarding right-to-work “shameful” and “embarrassing.”

    No not the guy with a history of stiffing his contractors and workers. At least you have that leopard to keep your face warm this winter.

    Ok hold on, I thought the teamsters largely voted to support the GOP in the first place? I remember being baffled by it somewhat at the time.

      Following the Republican National Convention and Biden’s campaign exit, the Teamsters commissioned a national electronic poll of its 1.3 million members, overseen by an independent third party. During a voting window from July 24-Sept. 15, rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6 percent for the union to endorse Trump, compared to 34 percent for Harris.

      Not sure if they voted that way, but that was the way they were leaning. But at the same time there were also a bunch of local Teamster unions who publically endorsed Harris when the Teamster president went to GOP convention.

      Interesting fact that they don’t mention the numbers of how many people of 1.3mil actually voted.
