Disappointed but not surprised in the slightest.
It is what it is, man.

It's actually almost impressive how Democrats are managing to lose the support of labor.

Labor is going to find themselves in for a surprise if they can't see how worse things will be under any republican.

"The Teamsters announcement is also a blow to former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, a Democrat in the race who stood with striking Teamsters in August."

Wow. What the fuck.

You make it sound like it's their fault when Teamster's the one doing the backstabbing.

They have a lot of regressive members. This won't save them. Sean O'Brien is a collaborator.

Teamsters are lead by a raving Republican donor.

This isn't too surprising.

They'll find out though.

I'm pretty sure most of the East Coast Ones endorsed Trump while the West Coast endorsed Harris.

I'm not sure voting for the other guy is considered backstabbing.

We'll meet him again in the place with no darkness.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

It is when when one person cared enough about your cause to stand with you yet you still endorse the Indian capitalist grifter.

Is it still worth it for Democrats to continue courting such a union?

With unions like this, Ohio might as become right to work.

Imagine being stuck at a Teamsters or UFCW job, your union sells you out, and you can't remain in the industry if you ever want to advocate for yourself.

It saddens me to see the unions falling in line.

Even the UAW chair who endorsed Harris fell in with Trump cause he thought a whole bunch of auto jobs were coming back.

Guess what? They aren't. GM is in the process of re-upping their deal with China to build cars there still. And I haven't seen not one American maker move a plant from overseas to here yet ( cause it's expensive af)

All of these idiots learn eventually. The teachers unions seem to be the ones with actual sense.

They need actual solidarity-based unionism. This is the most anti-solidarity thing they could do and it's tainting people's views of what unions are. Every time any article or call for aid from unions is circulated, half the comments are attacking the Teamsters, and this won't help.

Will they though? They wouldn't be idiots if they had the actual capacity to learn from their mistakes.

They will once their "union" gets outlawed by the Republicans they vote for.

Vivek is a capitalist. He will destroy them if it means high profits for big business.
