West Coast Teamsters break with national chapter in endorsing Harris
The announcement came minutes after the national Teamsters declined to make a presidential endorsement.
The move represents a sharp break within the powerful union’s membership in liberal states like California, where former President Donald Trump remains a widely unpopular political figure.

@LiberalLibrarian @nursefrombirth good for them !! If you don’t make a choice you are already made a choice that will benefit the other side .
@nursefrombirth The Teamsters Union is part of the reason many people don't like the idea of unions overall. Just my opinion based on their track record of corruption and organized crime in the 90's.
For a long time I mistrusted unions but have since been much more receptive.
@nursefrombirth Sean O’Brien is a butt-hurt dumb ass. He’s thinking that withholding an endorsement will pressure the DNC to kiss his ring. He speaks at the RNC convention, where those lying pit vipers make him look like a marionette. He goes to the Senate, acts a fool, and wants to fight a dipshit GOP senator (Markwayne Mullin). The DNC won’t give him time at their convention or anything else for that matter.
The DNC isn’t going to do shit for a dumb thug like him, and they don’t need his blessing. This is how the Teamsters regress to their unsavory Hoffa-era reputation and make themselves more vulnerable to union-busting.
Leadership!
@nursefrombirth So did the Michiganders.
