A few days ago I posted that the Teamsters are polling their members to see who they should support for president. This is the result of that poll.

Why in the fuck would a union ------ support the party that offshores their jobs?
Can someone please answer this for me......
Teamsters, and most other unions, are always left-leaning and always support leftist political candidates. I never understood it.
Unions are a communist idea to start with.
That's what makes this such a big deal. They rarely, if ever, endorse Republican candidates.
Here's a fun fact: May first (May Day) is International Worker's Day. Communists hold May 1st as a special day because that's the day Adam Weishaupt officially started the Bavarian Illuminati which eventually morphed into the Communist parties among other things.
Thanks for sharing about Weishaupt, I found this to be an interesting read.
I was a member of a union. At least half of the membership were conservative in their leanings, but the union leadership were all liberal. Why was that? I will tell you from experience it was from the conservatives being so indignant over the "leadership" of the left, and so God-damned lazy, that they rolled over and let it happen, being content to carp about it---but not being willing to do anything about it.
We have seen the same thing happening in all of our social institutions: local governments, school systems, churches. The leftists are active and the conservatives are passive carpers. The schools are a sore point. Nothing is a greater target locally for conservatives than the schools. To whom I would ask, "Where the hell were you for the past 30-40 years?." Too fucking much complacency and consequent negligence. You ignore your garden for a large part of a century and you no longer have a garden, but an invasive jungle.
Yep. The only thing Union did for people was slave them more and turn them into Communists plus their goal was to get money from the suckers (me/past tense though) who work for the governments of the world. Meaning they are bad to the core, they do not fight for nobody, they get people in trouble.
I can't help if you joined a bad union and did nothing to move it in the right direction. But your crummy experience is no argument against unions. Any more than the (true) claim that cities tend to be liberal in their policies and thus to be condemned. By that logic, we should not have cities?
I was in a union for about 40 years, becoming active on the heels of a righteous strike for a contract that was only a continuation of the previous contract. New management (from a merger, all of them Jack Welch followers) wanted to squeeze us. They figured we would whimper and go away. We struck for 40 days, innovating in the art of striking. Our members were designated to authorize delivery of airplanes, and while we were on strike, Boeing could not deliver airplanes to customers. They could build them (only the engineers and techs were on strike, not the factory workers), but they had to park them along the length of Boeing Field---where the whole world could drive by on Interstate 5 and see how the strike was going by the length of the parked lineup. And they were running out of apron space to do the parking. At some point, not far off, the Company would have to shut down the factories, which would be real pain. The Company caved and agreed to continue the contract.
In "peacetime," the union was pretty good at monitoring contract compliance and representing members in cases of discipline or contract violation. I can tell you that management has no regard for ideas that ordinary justice is built on.
The union had an arrogant, overbearing Executive Director (paid employee), who functioned as a dictator, with the elected leadership mainly as bribed stooges. The general membership were not happy with him, but there was mainly grumbling and no action. I and a half dozen others got together and formulated an opposing "party" and a political strategy to oust this tyrant. It took 5 years, 3 election campaigns, and thousands of personal dollars, appealing directly to the membership, for us to gain control of the Executive Board. We instructed the tyrant to heel, he laughed at us ("You'll never fire me"), and we indeed fired him at our next meeting. There was immense backlash, and we were ultimately recalled and thrown out---but there was no turning back. The dictator's henchpeople were informed that any attempt to reinstate him would be met by a popular movement to decertify the union. Ulp! Sorry, Charlie, you're in the can. (From this I derived my observation "You know who is in power by who can fire whom.") So, the moral of the story is that oppression can be dispelled, but it takes dedication and courage.
Unions are only an expression of the freedom of association for the purpose of collective bargaining. If you are opposed to that, you are nothing other than a tyrant. If you don't get what you want, look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you are willing to work for what you want. What we are seeing today in the clash between the Deep State and MAGA is only what happened in my union, on a larger scale. Does this mean we should abandon constitutional government, because it leads to a Deep State? Or should we realize that we have been gliding for generations and are now met with the result of that neglect and inattention?
Not in the least. It is the living demonstration of the right of free association and collective bargaining. Don't blame unions for the unbalanced legal situation created by government legislation (NLRA). Those doing labor or service have as much right to form a body to negotiate working conditions as any corporation.
The Communists (and Nazis) were so opposed to the independence of unions that they mandated that they should all be under government control.
If an individual worker is being treated unjustly by the employer (violation of contract terms), there is no one to defend him but a union.
Money
Edit: free shit.
The people on top have agendas. They aren't elected. Same shit applies to unions. People paying dues get scraps
Union MEMBERS may be overwhelmingly for Trump, but I bet the "Union" will endorse Kamabala. Paid-off commies at the top.
Follow the money
Because mafia types have corrupted the Democrat party AND unions for well over 100 years.
I think the answer is there in your response.
The union bosses likely get big bucks from the dems to do so.
And forces car company's to make unsellable electric trucks
Way back in the day, I was in a union and the national reps would announce a vote for leadership positions coming up and later for a vote pro or con for a national strike. Our local reps held meetings with all of us to tell us whom we were to vote for, period. When I became outspoken about decisions being made, especially objecting to a yes vote on a strike, I was confronted in the lounge by two of the older reps and threatened. Soon thereafter, I found my locker was being accessed and my coffee cup would be filled with dirty cigarette butts when I'd come in to work in the morning. Both reps were cigarette smokers.
In another job where we had to pay dues to local and national organizations, the leadership at the top would tell us our dues were going to particular political parties. We never took a vote on who the money should go to or whether that was the best use of our dues. It was always to a candidate / party I did not support.
In another completely unrelated industry, in one of our regular weekly sales meetings, our sales manager had invited a rep from the United Way, which is a very political organization (in my opinion) that (back then) kept 95% of the money for 'overhead' giving 5% to the actual charity. And local politicians were on the payroll. I did not want my money to go to them.
The manager passed out envelopes with our names on them. They were different colors. He announced that one color showed you gave last year above a certain $, the next color was a donation below this $, and the next color showed you didn't give anything the previous year! It was clearly meant to shame and intimidate. He said for us to get out our checkbooks and put a damn check in it for United way and to have it ready and he'd get it from us. He went row by row in our meeting room to collect the checks. I handed him an empty envelope. I do not cotton to coercion.
