Ramaswamy nabs Teamsters endorsement

[ForgoTheConsequence]

The Ohio conference within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is endorsing Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy — an influential pickup for the former 2024 contender in the race.
...

During the 2024 presidential campaign, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters general president Sean O’Brien spoke at the Republican National Convention and the group ultimately declined to endorse a candidate for the first time since 1996. According to internal union polling, 60% of Teamsters preferred President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Ramaswamy in the race for governor, over then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

1. Fo those who

voluntarily EFF themselves over, I have

2. As a union member, I agree.

If they don't believe in solidarity or my rights to collectively bargain, they can fuck right off. Sean O'Brien is a SCAB and the Teamsters will sell out their own members (a lot of whom are public sector) in a second.

6. I'm a retired union

member who still pays dues. You are right, a union is only as good as their uncoruptable leaders.

3. Should we be pro union if union members are mostly scum?

We really need Bernie to knock some sense into them. His barnstorming of the country is critical.

This was a bad look from Schumer to be fair. A very bad look.

4. They're not mostly scum.

The majority of union members voted for Harris. Union leadership and a lot of the rank and file just happen to be self-serving assholes who don't really care about solidarity or collective struggle; they only see union membership as a means to a good job and pension for themselves. Yes, we should be pro-union, but that means making it easier to join a union and educating people on why collective bargaining (key word COLLECTIVE) is instrumental in building a strong middle class. Leadership is too cozy with the establishment and cares more about who uses what bathroom than what they can do for their members.

5. Reminds me of when I heard that UAW leaders back in the 90's hanged out corporate executives at the golf course.

Just a bunch of spineless leadership who didn't give a damn about the strugles of organized labor.

7. Truly astonishing.

Shots fired in toes I guess.
