… and I already called and told them so. I no longer support them if they can’t support democracy.

Keep in mind that it was only a NATIONAL union no-endorsement... Think. Again. Sep 2024 #2

I fully agree, but I feel we should also be supporting and thanking the individual local chapters that endorse Harris. Think. Again. Sep 2024 #5
Enough backlash and National may change their stance. Kittycatkat Sep 2024 #4

...and that Local Union Chapters are starting to publicly endorse Harris in spite of the National lack of endorsement.

I called my local as well. National Teamsters must support Harris, or the Teamsters lose my support. Period.

without their support. Local chapters will make up their own minds. They see just what is being done for, and not to, their union brothers.

A 'No' endorsement is the same as a Trump endorsement...and they know it. What has a GOP POTUS ever done for unions, except to fuck 'locals' over and pass shitloads of $$ back and forth between the GOP and national leadership.
