Just curious, has any local endorsed Trump?

[Watcher745]

I can’t see why any local or joint council would endorse Trump but the question I have is has any of them endorsed?

A majority of 804 members voted for Trump at the town hall in the spring.

Talk about rubbing it in. No soy boys there.

Some people just don't know which side their breast is buttered on.

[Bob Randall]

"Voted for"? For what? That post appears to be out of context.

[Nickjamesups]

I was told that they actually had a “straw poll “ at their general membership meeting .

[Watcher745]

So back to my original question , are you saying that 804 has endorsed ?

[Mr. Teamster]

So back to my original question , are you saying that 804 has endorsed ?

Straw polls at the local unions went for Biden. The other poll that you take online is currently at 55% for Trump. Do you see the conundrum? You might think I’m being on the wrong the right side of history, but I think more has to do with what percentage of the membership wants what.

[Nickjamesups]

I think what the membership wants is a leader. Otherwise we can simply put all issues before the union to be settled by taking a poll!
If he is afraid to make a decision as the president for fear of pissing off some members then he is in the wrong job.
Endorse a candidate who is in favor of workers rights or a candidate who is repeatedly stated he support right to work 100%….seems like a simple choice.

How many Local union officers and staff like and support National Right to Work, just for starters? Thats the number that like and support Trump. Officers and BA's, ya know the people that actually do the work of fighting the anti-union forces out there, those folks almost unanimously hate Trump. They know that his election will make their jobs almost impossible.

It is clear, that it only took two years for the oz government backed administration to gut the locals and the JCs. There are so few stand up officers left that for all intent and purpose, the phrase " local union and JC autonomy" is effectively dead. Sell-out, rats like kevin moore even ask for permission to endorse local candidates. California locals and JCs, who endorsed Harris in every previous race, are silent and AWOL. The rest of the labor movement has the right to blame the Teamsters for anything and everything that workers lose if trump gets elected. What a pathetic display of how to destroy a union from the inside out!

[Nickjamesups]

Does anyone know if in fact Perrone has endorsed Trump ? Will he use the straw poll from his meeting as an excuse?

Seems pretty obvious from the pictures the White guys from 804 support Trump, the Black guys from 804 support Harris. So do the math I would guess about 30% White in 804.

[Watcher745]

Can’t believe that union members would allow race to divide themselves in this instance! This is simply about who labor should endorse, which candidate best represents the interest of the labor movement.
Vote for whomsoever you wish.

[BBeatle]

Seriously you can't believe it?

[DanaCos]

Absolutely! I have supported numerous black leaders in our union and in politics. I encourage anyone who identifies as black or whatever, go read up on Thomas Sowell. He destroys the stigma that has been placed on them.

[Nickjamesups]

I hear that Perrone may have a slate running against him , maybe some members have had enough of tough talk? Remember “ talk tough , sell short and claim victory “ ?

[DanaCos]

Such an ignorant jerk. I told Marcus King at my workplace that I couldn't vote for their slate and the man was so genuine. Everyone there with him were so gracious and appreciated my wishes and were extremely nice people. Perrone argued and argued with me then goes back to New York and ran his mouth about me. I hope he gets his just do's.
