What am I missing?

First off, your brain. Second, your heart is as cold as ice and missing in action. Third, you have ZERO empathy towards those you hate. Fourth, you were 100% wrong about Trump and 100% wrong about Pedo Joe. Besides that, I'm sure you're a nice guy that is just full of shit. Thoughts on the assassination attempt on former President and the GOPs Canidate for 2024 Trump?

I agree, he did a good job representing his interests and kudos to Trump for including him in the Convention. I enjoyed his speech (although I didn't agree with him on a few things), and got a chuckle out of his teamster character, big, burly guy from Baston with a chip on his shoulder.

This article should answer a lot of your questions. The Dems losing the teamster's endorsement would be a significant blow to Biden. We shall see what happens.

I’ve been in unions my entire adult life. Not many members pay attention to endorsements or the “voting guides” they send out. I do find it odd when union members vote for anti-union entities. On a side note I have noticed a trend amongst people I once worked with that are now full maga. They are the NA, AA and quite often GA voting block, the addictive personality types. Many are now in recovery and now addicted to trump and Christ . . . until the wind changes direction.

I don't doubt any of that, but it still doesn't change the fact that the Teamsters endorsement is highly sought after by Dems (or at least it was). The Teamsters have always been heavily involved in politics, both legitimately and illegitimately. The Biden campaign is losing ground with blue collar workers mostly because of cost of goods, union vs non-union takes a back seat when you can't afford eggs.

People do vote with their pocketbooks. Therefore I will vote for the pro-union candidates. That way I will get good pay, safe work conditions, benefits and a pension.

I've said this many times...our source of income typically drives our opinions, particularly our political positions.

I do know some people who are in the tax bracket that benefits from the “trump tax cuts” (aka long held republican wish list tax cuts), they are Republicans, not maga, so I can understand that vote. The others I see as casualties of a nonstop pr/propaganda machine. The rich get richer either way and the poor remain that way, BUT! They believe!

Small businesses benefit the most from conservative policies. So many small business owners can't stand Trump but vote for him because it gives them the best opportunity to succeeds. Unions are unneeded antiques that only drive up costs and promote mediocrity, particularly in California. If you signed the front of the checks you'd understand that.

I understand both positions. It without unions we easily slip back into, child labor, triangle shirt factory fires, black lung, “acceptable death averages”, 70-80 hour workweeks, erosion of safety standards, etc. but you signing the checks don’t care.

Very archaic way of thinking. Progress has been made since the industrial revolution.

People fought and were murdered by corporation thugs, often wearing police uniforms, to secure the work conditions workers now enjoy. Those efforts were fought, often brutally, everyday and are still being fought. Divide and conquer is what corporations want. You’ll never convince me otherwise. Unions built the middle class and the middle class made America great. Labor produces revenue not the other way around.

Ironic considering that the Teamsters had a long history of collusion with organized crime, corruption and violence. Like sweatshops and unsafe working conditions, those are mostly things of the past, well except for the corruption part.

Actually they aren’t. Kids cleaning slaughterhouses ring a bell?

All-American Sweatshops

The recent collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,100 people may have one positive result: It just may jumpstart reform of working conditions on a global scale...

Holy shit, what kind of industry to you work in? The worst part of our employees' day is the traffic to and from work, and on occasion a psycho customer.

Labor history is a bloody one. Corporations fought collective bargaining with force for decades. And they will again given a chance.
