Teamsters Black Caucus: "Any labor leader thinking Trump is the candidate of choice should turn their union card in."

There is disagreement among union members about the Teamsters decision to withhold an endorsement.

The head of the union's Black Caucus tells me,

“Any labor leader thinking that Donald Trump is the candidate of choice should turn their union card in."

1. If the Teamster leadership

says that internal polling shows the majority of its members support Trump, that should be a sign they need to do some educational outreach, not that they should not endorse someone. The role of leadership is to communicate to non-leadership which certain policies are in constituents best interest. Anyone who has not been brainwashed knows that Democrats are better for labor than Republicans. They should be pointing out to their members what Democrats have done for the members of the union. Something tells me there's some OTHER reasons teamster leadership doesn't want endorse Harris!
