This is a major blow to the Harris campaign and reflects her disconnect with the American worker. And Even thought 60 percent of the Teamsters Union SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP, the Teamsters leadership would not endorse Trump probably fearing the long term consequences from the DNC.

And local chapters have endorsed Harris, ignoring the national organization.

You kind of twisted that story,
Good for the TEAMSTERS, NOT pushing any ones agenda is the right move.
 
Working class folk overwhelming support Trump.

Trump has transformed the Republican Party from the party of corporate interests to the party of the working class.

And you see the corporate Republicans like Romney, Bush, Cheney, the Koch Brothers, Bill Crystal and George Wills defecting to the NEW party of the corporations...the Democrats.

Several state Teamster Unions have endorsed Harris.

Most of the local chapters and membership endorsed her even though the leader is a tRumpling.

Most are outraged at the leadership for this.
 
The Biden-Harris Administration and Democrats in Congress have given the Teamsters union hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes over the decades, mainly to shore up their pension plan, which has always suffered from over-promising and underperformance (as well as graft).

But the actual TEAMSTERS favor Trump by an almost 2-1 majority, so the Union leaders decided that, rather than embarrass themselves by endorsing candidates that their members reject, they will just sit it out. Teamster locals are not so timid, however, and many of them are "endorsing" the worthless grifters despite the preference of their members.

Nope.....majority of Teamsters are outraged at leadership because they didn't endorse Trump..If the head of Teamsters were a Trump supporter, then why didn't he endorse him.......as the majority of members did??


Union to Announce Official Endorsement Decision on Wednesday​

(WASHINGTON) — The International Brotherhood of Teamsters today publicly released six months of membership polling data on the union’s possible endorsement for the next U.S. President, revealing former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden each edged Vice President Kamala Harris among Teamsters voters in major polls commissioned by the union.

The Teamsters have not yet endorsed any candidate for U.S. President. The union’s General Executive Board expects to announce a decision on Wednesday.

“For the past year, the Teamsters Union has pledged to conduct the most inclusive, democratic, and transparent Presidential endorsement process in the history of our 121-year-old organization—and today we are delivering on that promise to our members,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Our members are the union, and their voices and opinions must be at the forefront of everything the Teamsters do. Our final decision around a possible Presidential endorsement will not be made lightly, but you can be sure it will be driven directly by our diverse membership.”

From April 9-July 3, nearly 300 Teamsters local unions nationwide conducted first-of-their-kind Presidential town halls, soliciting endorsement preferences from members via straw polls. The in-person voting was held prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the race. The Teamsters’ polling data shows members backed Biden 44.3 percent to Trump’s 36.3 percent.

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.

In the past week, following the Democratic National Convention and recent Presidential debate, the Teamsters commissioned independent polling firm Lake Research Partners to conduct the union’s final national survey. In the poll ending Sept. 15, Teamsters selected Trump by 58 percent for endorsement over 31 percent for Harris.

The Teamsters General Executive Board is convened in Washington, DC, on Wednesday to review the polling results and a forthcoming endorsement decision is anticipated. Facebook.com/teamsters.

Meh. tRumplings lie.

Everyone knows that.
 
"Peterbilt a truck for a man to drive. It ain't no livin but it's a mighty good life"....David Lynn Jones '09. Teamsters ain't pussies and they don't want to be led by the nose by a liberal democrat babe and her pussy V.P. nominee who put tampons in boys bathrooms. .

It's from the Teamsters own website, derp. They polled their members nationwide both Trump vs Biden, then vs Harris. They were going to endorse Biden if he stayed in the race because he had polled higher than Trump. But now since Harris took over, and Trump has since polled higher than her they are refusing to endorse anyone and members are pissed because they had previously promised to 'listen to the members' but they didn't.


Teamsters Union has always endorsed the Left until now and members of both sides are pissed
