70, 856 and 853 BS "Democracy"

[Tpost]

Locals 70, 856 and 853 are promoting the narrative that Biden and Trump should be given equal consideration in this year's presidential election. These JC7 locals claim that this is "democratic." Trump has a long history of being anti-labor, pro-deregulation, anti-women's rights, homophobic, racist and, oh yeah, pro-insurrection. He's a convicted sex offender, facing numerous felony charges throughout the country. The so-called leaders at the IBT - including SOB and his trip down to Florida to kiss Trump's ring - voted to send $45,000 to the RNC and are now endangering our union by agreeing to supporty Trump if the a few select members who show up at the BS "town halls" want it. These are the same "leaders" who have no problem destroying anti-SOB members, officers and locals through the use of trumped-up charges, anti-Teamster IIO decisions, and even a Trump lawyer hired by the IBT to assist prosecutions (yeah, trumped-up charges from a Trump lawyer). Trump is an authoritarian thug who could care less about working people. Real labor leaders would use their democratically elected positions to educate the members about the Trump rather than promote this facade of democracy; remember, one of Hitler's first official acts was to ban labor unions. Just saying.

I agree with you Brother. We are on the precipice of a fascist state; its front man is Donald Trump. Our Union should be on the front lines calling him and his MAGA movement what it is.

How different is O'Brien from Trump?

Come on pal, you know how it works. You were involved. The IBT gave RNC $45,000 and $200,000 to the DNC. It’s called hedging your bets. You are from the left coast so you don’t have as many republicans but other places have a lot of republican members. It was a great move to give to both. This means we get in the door with both parties. Nobody at the IBT wants Donald Trump but the majority of our members do pal. You were involved in 2020 before your boss was banned for LIFE. Why don’t you tell it how it is. Also, why don’t you throw it out there that it is from the pack fund. Most members of this site probably don’t even give to D. R. I. V. E. So they really don’t have a leg in the fight.

The once great and always contrary JC7 is dead! This once admired JC, by the entire Teamster nation, for the best contracts, the best suppliments, the superior organizing, and for its honest and forthright opposition to the IBT when the IBT was wrong, is now only a memory. A total lack of guts and leadership, and a total and complete capitulation to Oz has done it in. RIP JC7...

Are you saying this because you received a lifetime ban?
