Teamsters members overwhelmingly support Trump over Harris

[Rawley]

Courts say otherwise.

Yup. He had to delete a tweet. LOL

 

[Independent thinker]

Don't they realize Trump is against unions? Look how he refused to back them last year when Biden did. And listen to him and Elon talk about breaking the law and firing workers who go on strike.

IF this is true, vergognia. They are blue collar deplorables.

Trump is for keeping their jobs and decreasing their cost of living.

 

[M14 Shooter]

IF this is true, vergognia. They are blue collar deplorables.

They hate you, too.

 

[Frankenstein]

Your hatred of union workers is shining through.

In other words, he knocked it out of the park, and you are scrambling for an answer!

 

[sealybobo]

They don't hate them, they just want the labor-owner balance to be fair and transparent.

No sir. That's what we want. YOU, if you could have your way, would make unions illegal or at least you would make striking illegal. So in other words you'd take out their teeth.

 

[sealybobo]

LOL The President of the Teamsters spoke at the RNC at Trump's request. Kamala only had millionaires, billionaires and her corporate masters at her coronation.

You know how corrupt union president's are. You guys have been saying it for decades. Now this proves it. They can be bought.

 

[sealybobo]

It is true, even the head of Teamsters has admitted the rank and file support Trump more than Kumalla.

This president of the Teamsters days are numbered I bet.

Nah, you idiots want people to do less work for more money, or get paid more than they add to the value of the product or service.

The only striking that should be illegal is by government employees.

However at some point in a strike, the owners should be able to cut bait and hire replacements.

Trump is for keeping their jobs and decreasing their cost of living.

But NEVER paying them more. Hey did you see this breaking news?

Local 317 Members Vote Overwhelmingly for New Contract​

(LANSING, N.Y.) – After two weeks on the picket line, Teamsters Local 317 members have voted overwhelmingly to approve a contract with BorgWarner, securing wage increases and expanded benefits.

“We are proud of our Teamsters brothers and sisters who were willing to stand up to corporate bullying and unite for a strong contract,” said Duane Wright, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 317. “It’s because of their solidarity that we were able to get this deal across the table.”

The more than 700 workers represented by Local 317 will receive 21 percent in wage increases over the life of the four-year agreement, a $5,500 ratification bonus, and expanded medical and vacation benefits.

Teamsters at BorgWarner went on strike on September 9 after an overwhelming 98 percent vote in favor of authorizing a strike. The workers voted down a prior subpar offer from the company before ratifying the current agreement by 90 percent.

“The past two weeks have been stressful, especially with our members’ concern over the loss of health insurance and the impact that has on our families,” said Lane Yon, a Local 317 member and chairperson of the strike committee. “However, during the strike we all came together as a union and a community and got support from our neighbors and local and state officials. We weren’t asking for the moon, just a piece of the pie. This new contract is exactly what we were fighting for. At the end of the day, our members love working here and just want to get back to work.”

Teamsters Local 317 represents thousands of members across Upstate New York.

Then what power do the strikers have? You would just hire scabs.

I don't want to get in this 2000's debate. It's like deja vu. Bottom line, you don't support teamsters.

Do you support the Marathon Teamster's?

Marathon Petroleum and the Teamsters union, which represents refinery workers in Detroit, Michigan, are at a standstill as negotiations for a new labor agreement stagnate and the strike at the plant enters its third week.
More than 200 Teamsters at Marathon's Detroit refinery called for an economic strike on Sept. 4 after nine months of pay- and safety-related negotiations and mediation with Marathon failed to reach agreement. The prior contract expired in January.

So you want Marathon to just hire new workers?

The scabs are probably less skilled.

There is supporting, and giving someone a blank check to fuck over businesses.

What are their demands specifically?

^^^Another death threat against a Trump supporter.

You people are unbelievable.

The Teamsters declined to endorse Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for president, saying neither candidate had sufficient support from the 1.3 million-member union.

“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters President Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement. “We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges.”

Why? The union is torn over issues of political identity, one that mirrors a broader national divide.

Vice President Harris has unmistakably backed organized labor, while former President Trump has appealed to many white blue-collar workers even as he has openly scorned unions

This is what I mean when I say the union members who support Trump are stupid. They deserve to have their pay cut. Whatever the company thinks they should make is what they should make. They should NOT get paid what the union members get paid. They fought for those higher wages. Trump supporting union members are fucking idiots.

Again, you calling anyone an idiot is fucking comical.

So you don't actually know them do you?

What if their demands are so ludicrous that they make the refinery unprofitable to operate?

Unions are the primary reason jobs go overseas - they refuse to understand labor is a worldwide commodity, and at some point it is cheaper for a company to make something over there and bring it here than it is to make it here.

And then they scoff when Trump talks about tariffs, which are the mechanism to make the shipping over here part more expensive, and thus favoring making it here.
