Teamster here.

I literally had three members yell at me for suggesting that Republicans hate unions.

I laughed in their faces and told them to save as much as they can.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 31 points 4 weeks ago

I'm sorry, but fucking what

What union member isn't aware of who the enemy is

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 26 points 4 weeks ago

Idiots. Unions are full of them.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

They are. I manage 30 union employees. Most of em hate the union since it puts the bar to the lowest asshole who fucks around everywhere. But they voted it in for another department having just as many people and way more fuck ups.

I was a union branch president. Can confirm most of the guys WHO NEED the union to keep their job DESPISE the union they are in. Totally lack any self awareness...Propaganda is a hell of a drug

Fucking really. Some fuck told me to stop filing so much.... Only reason he has a job he because management pities him too much to go through the process of firing his ass.

I used to work at Deere, boy howdy lemme tell ya what those are some fucking Trump loving dudes out here.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

Public sector unions will be eliminated under Trump. There will be no right to organize

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

He'll carve out an exception for police. They're his "brown shirts" and he'll probably authorize them to enforce Federal law.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago

Yup.

Actions have consequences and rank and file union members that voted Trump are going to find out that the dildo of consequences never comes lubed when ordered through Trump's enterprises.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

The only time something from Trump was more than you bargained for is when it's either bills or consequences.

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Ignoring the needs of the working class had consequences too

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Does this include the police??

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

Nah, the only thing they'll be shedding is body cams.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

Remember when Biden broke a train strike and the lost a make endorsement because he refused to commit to not doing it again?

Anyways. here's wonderwall.

TEAMSTER'S NON-ENDORSEMENT FOR THE WIN!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 4 weeks ago

I don't think that was deciding factor, but yeah. The leopards will feast well.

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago

Locals overwhelmingly endorsed harris.

[-] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago
