https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4888157-kamala-harris-endorsement-local-teamsters-unions-battleground-states-2024/amp/?Local unions within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are putting their support behind Vice President Harris in November, despite the wider unions decision to withhold a presidential endorsement this year.
Michigan Teamsters President Kevin Moore and the Executive Board on behalf of 245,000 active and retired Teamsters enthusiastically endorse the Harris-Walz campaign, Kevin D. Moore, president of the Michigan Teamsters Joint Council No. 43, said Wednesday in a document posted to Facebook.
The 300,000 Teamsters who work across California, Nevada, Hawaii, and Guam are fundamental to the American economy, not only producing and transporting goods, but also providing essential services throughout the private and public sectors, Joint Council 42 President Chris Griswold said in a post on the local unions Facebook page. They deserve a committed administration that will relentlessly advocate for their rights, ensure their safety, and prioritize the needs of working people.

Bailed out a number of Teamster's pension funds. I guess they don't care about that or Trump's recent comments with Musk about firing union workers.
