Is it time the Teamsters ask for a vote to support Bernie in the Primary?

What would be the historical result if all the voters in the country thought like this?

What if the sky fell today?

What if the sky fell today?

You know the point.
Vote. It counts.

How do you know what I know? How can you read my thoughts through this tinfoil. I thought 5 layers would be enough.

 

[BrownFlush]

Never heard this.

I just figured you would take a short cut to truth, and see that every vote does count.
Think what you want. It's a great life.

Probably because he was just another maroon who likes to hear himself talk and fart.

"Spooner was a strong advocate of the labor movement and anti-authoritarian and individualist anarchist in his political views. His economic and political ideology has often been identified as libertarian socialism and mutualism."

Nah, he was actually a pretty smart and accomplished guy. I like a lot of points he made, though I don't entirely agree with everything he espoused.

Teamsters should do the right thing and endorse the only person who is going to help America and Americans. TRUMP 2020. Pence/Jordan 2024. Although one is from Ohio and other from Indiana so maybe that ticket would be to Midwest. Or maybe trump 2024. No not the Donald his son. Jr. How many liberals moved to Canada. 0 lmfao for 5 more years

Unprecedented: The Trump NLRB’s attack on workers’ rights

"Under the Trump administration, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has systematically rolled back workers’ rights to form unions and engage in collective bargaining with their employers, to the detriment of workers, their communities, and the economy. The Trump board has issued a series of significant decisions weakening worker protections under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA/Act). Further, the board has engaged in an unprecedented number of rulemakings aimed at overturning existing worker protections. Finally, the Trump NLRB general counsel (GC) has advanced policies that leave fewer workers protected by the NLRA and has advocated for changes in the law that roll back workers’ rights.

The Trump board and GC have elevated corporate interests above those of working men and women and have routinely betrayed the statute they are responsible for administering and enforcing. This paper highlights the most egregious actions of the Trump board and GC and evaluates the impact on working people. It is critical that Congress hold the Trump NLRB accountable and that policymakers prioritize legislative reforms that will restore the original promise of our nation’s labor law—to encourage and promote the formation of unions and the practice of collective bargaining."

Nlrb we the teamsters are fighting establishment old guard teamsters. We voted contract down nationwide but forced to accept. I didn't click on article but I read your comment I didn't see any facts or rule changes. I want to keep my family health insurance I don't want single payer plan. I don't want open borders to flood the market with cheap labor that drives union wages down. Any ups employee who doesn't vote trump is a fool.

standard union propaganda for a republican president. they probably dusted it off and reposted it from Bush

the fact is that Trump has chased many of the issues on trade that unions were begging the dems to chase and let down

thats the part of unions supporting dems that has me baffled . it would seem to be a deal breaker if you're trying to maintain the union wage scale.

Traditionally the GOP favored more immigration being the business friendly party. Now that they are the “we hate math” party they are against growing the economy through immigration.

 

[Method Mensch]

May I ask how a single payer health care system would benefit Teamsters, since we have excellent insurance already?
Or why truck drivers should support taxpayer funded "loan forgiveness" for the people who decided that they were above manual labor, and got liberal arts degrees?
Or how "legalization", benefits our union?

You've slipped a current events opinion piece into the UPS discussions forum.

Let's not get too carried away here. Maybe this is just a matter of semantics, but the liberal arts cover a lot of areas of study. They include math, biology, physics, and chemistry, to just name a few. If you want to become a doctor, for example, you can't just go to high school and as soon as you graduate hang a sign up that says "Doctor's Office" and start seeing patients. You enroll in a liberal arts program and major in biology. Same goes for a lot of different professions. They start with a liberal arts program. Some people do not see themselves as " above manual labor", but see a professional future that contributes to society in a meaningful way. We can't all go to high school and follow that noble and impactful pursuit of humping packages out of a brown truck all day.

Heaven forbid people actually do manual labor

Now the GOP has become the party of the blue collar laborer (i.e. UPS and FDX Drivers).
The Dems have become the party of the white collar worker and pseudo-intellectuals.

Do you disagree with the quote? Or can you only focus on him talking to his farts?

Completely off topic. Archie Bunker should have been a Democrat based on his job and where he lived. Also the fact is was the 1970's.
Why was he a Republican? What do you think?

Evidently he wasnt a ups driver because he was home early enough to eat supper with his family.
