Maybe if the last 3 democrat presidents hadn't actively put the middle class on life support in this country, they'd have more union support. Democrats have been in power 20 of the last 32 years and their policies have actively harmed small buisnesses and middle class families. The only strong points for the left at this point are social issues, not economic or foreign issues, which I'd argue are significantly more important than social issues and they've wiffed on those for the last 30 years. Hell the crash of 08 was put on Bush when he was just seeing through a Clinton policy of trying to bring people into the middle class by giving the gift of home ownership via sub prime mortgages to people who couldn't really afford them, its a nice idea, not necessarily a good idea, didn't work out and again, Republicans took the blame for a failed democrat policy.

You are correct. Even though unions have greatly helped workers leverage themselves against terrible business practices in the past, it's incredibly important to keep an open and skeptical mind.

This makes more sense to me now knowing that Harris / Walz actually got affirmative votes from the board to endorse them while the rest of the board decided not to weigh in either way. I feel that they did the right thing because the board obviously was going to endorse Harris / Walz because they saved their pensions and agreed to everything except 1 or 2 requests that probably would impact other unions; but when the actual members prefer the candidate that didn’t support unions and won’t commit to any of their requests you can’t win in that situation. He said the Democrats have been great for working people but the members are supporting Trump by 60%. I see his dilemma because when the Democrats cave to the unions demands and Republicans are working overtime to break them up in Congress and in the courts it’s a unwinnable situation. The Republicans don’t hide their disdain for unions, every Republican state has right to work and Trump said that he’s going to fire all union workers and suspend their contracts if he’s reelected. The members still support him while the board members don’t agree with it.

Time to freaking wake up unions!

They've left all Americans behind!!!!!

As a union member, I am far far from a Democrat.

[@jonathanmoore8886]

Neither party is for the working class. Its for people that get wealthy off the working class.

Ive worked from the age of 17, joined the Marine corps and held a job every moment of my life. I now have 3 degress including a masters and cant find a job

[@turbobusterman]

5:54 😂😂 please sir, how the frack was Biden good for working class? That’s a joke

[@logangodofcandy]

It was good for him and the unions. They all got paid more and more, and did less and less work, while the economy crumbled and nobody could afford the shit loser unions were making.

[@omarbojorquez7826]

Well trump took away the ability to claim mileage, hotels, tools, and dues on our taxes. Trump was agianist the butch-Lewis act which saves the retired worker pension. Trump was agianist PLAs on federal jobs

[@gunterification]

So why don't they endorse trump if the majority of teamsters think this way?

[@minekush1138]

hes a coward thats why

[@UBJibbs]

hey Theo, you should interview Shawn Fain of the UAW soon !

At least Chuck makes me laugh with his comically evilness, unlike his personally planted daughter Amy.

[@jenneyperegrine5973]

OMG I love that guy 😍 Teamsters are badasses!

[@justinskeans3342]

Ya unless you work for them..... they are a joke force people to pay them take money outta my family's mouth. If your a good worker they are not needed. They only protect fuck bags who don't wanna work see it every fucking day

[@benjamintrejo9307]

Crazy some dudes see a person get a raise and think “they shouldn’t have gotten that raise” crazy

[@minekush1138]

depends i have had to wake up employees to pay for my gas so yeah😂theres that

[@NJP-pi5zb]

He doesn't understand our perspective...otherwise the union would endorse Trump.

[@christophermeyers2687]

Thank you Sean you speaking the truth of the membership thank you Trump 2024

[@plauro1]

Biden was great to the american worker?,unions? perhaps concessions and payoffs,im a union member the economy stocks inflation and what raises? democrats didnt do anything for me,exept cost me more,and im a lifelong democrat?

[@Scottviewstheworld]

60% Ha!!! It’s waaaaaay more than that.

[@spicher40]

Theo. You are letting this guy off the hook. He’s a leech

[@Mikevac86]

My dad was in a union. 20 years of paying dues, and all he got was flowers at his funeral.

[@JoeFabeets]

Why are we paying federal taxes?

[@sunshine3914]

Well, that’s a question that should’ve been answered in your civics class which you didn’t have or you didn’t pay attention to.

[@Clay-ge1fu]

To keep the illusion that they aren't the ones printing it at will and that cash is important or valuable

[@RobotWithHumanHair.]

@@sunshine3914I don’t remember my civics class going over the utter amount of corruption and dark money infested in our politics.

[@minekush1138]

​@@sunshine3914 school was invented to make obedient factory workers

[@Corn_Pops_Rusty_Razor]

@sunshine3914 we are well beyond what we learned in civics. The government hasn't kept to a budget in a long time. Every year there is a threat of a shut down or continuing resolution BC they spend over budget. Those CRs let the fed print the money that the government is short. They don't need our tax money since they just print more money when they are short every year.

[@gardyloo3415]

This guy speaks about representing people like politicians should. Those schmucks in office don’t know they are supposed to represent people.

[@karenallen5504]

All I heard is RFK is the best - MAHA

[@redsr9990]

Oooooo I caught that wanting to end right to work. The right to work bill is a blessing for people that have a union forced on them that did not want to be part of it.

[@NoalFarstrider]

I was forced into a union, my job then garnished wages for my union. They then kept my wages from my union. My union seeing how I didn't pay them unvested me from my union. My job then illegally fired me after I got injured and my union didn't protect me because in their minds I was no longer a member when in reality I was paying them the whole time. So my job stole from me my union didn't protect me and I had to pay them anyway for the right and privilege to work on the job site. What a joke.

[@TroyJScott]

This is a lazy union 🗣SCUMBAG, but he is correct

He got me a nice pay raise last contract. What you crying about

The last union president (Jimmy Hoffa Jr.) Was lazy. This guy is an insanely hard worker, solid dude.

[@devinwright131]

I fkn love this guy. No red or blue, just what’s right for the workers

[@VeryHornyToad]

Then why isn’t he voting? The teamsters either endorse a democrat or they endorse no one. Don’t complain if you don’t vote. I bet this guy has never voted republican. What he’s saying is “I only want a democrat, and I want them to do what I want. If they don’t do what I want, I’m not voting” even though there is a republican waving a sign in this dudes face that say “I’ll give you what you want!”. This guys then says “nah we’re not gonna vote”

[@sunshine3914]

He’s not very bright… Republicans have been anti-union since the beginning of unions. Either he’s not too bright or he’s playing you guys as being totally ignorant.

[@justinskeans3342]

Unions have always been blue wake up. They are puppets of corporate America used to create monopolies along with the fed...

[@yolobuck2553]

Language.. democrats are so bad.. has a string of many years pointing out how bad it is. After all the years od democrats being deviants and shitting on working class.. finally says. I just won't endorse. Money still poured to Democrats

[@rns7426]

The workers wanted to endorse Trump and these guys didn’t. By not endorsing anyone he endorsed the democrats. He didn’t listen to his constituents.

[@gagehagen3648]

I’m a teamster and it’s nice to see the union I pay dues to is starting to keep there head on a swivel and look at what’s going to better there members instead of leaning left no matter what

I’m a Union Plumber and I’m really pissed The UA ( my union ) endorsed Democrats again.

Biden cut the Keystone pipe line on day one, and killed union jobs.
