Reminder: this is the same Teamster that spoke at the Republican convention, making these comments to Tucker Carlson.
You probably shouldn't take this at face value and assume this was her attitude toward labor in general.
A major union head went on Tucker Carlson's podcast... gross. Harris could have done more to appeal to workers, but this dude can't paint himself as a neutral politically-impartial leader!
Yes because politically neutral means only going on democrat podcasts.
It's bullshit on it's face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop.
So the guy is just lying about that, of course there's no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster's face.
Excuse my ignorance on American doublespeak, but does the "right to work" just mean the "right for companies to employ scabs"?
They named it that so it would get confused with similarly named laws that protect the rights of workers.
right to work laws "protect" workers from unions forcing them to pay dues so: yes.
We could have gotten Right-To-Work off the books?
Well, nah. 'cause congress would have to pass it before the prez could sign it.
The elections over why are you still running cover for that fucking loser
It's imbecilic to make a comment like this when someone is making it explanation of something else.
If all you have to say in this thread are childish insults and attacks, degrading from the conversation and not contributing to it at all, leave the platform, no one wants you here. Go back to Reddit.
How can you still be defending a campaign that failed so miserably. It failed, learn something from that or get used to losing your whole life
OK I don't have a dog in this regatta, but I gotta say you making a comment calling out someone providing nothing but insults that itself contains nothing but childish insults that also contributed nothing is fucking amazing.
I would say this is some peak reddit right here, but I don't really think its an insult or care enough about another website to invoke its name.
Lmfao you are gonna love the next four years. Unless youre rich, then you actually are going to love the next four years. Probably a pot more than four years i suspect
I'm gonna hate the next four years because the dems ran a candidate that they knew couldn't win and idiots like you shouted at people who pointed this out and called us trump lovers
Yes, democrats are vegetative. You can see my comment history, im the first one to point that out. But you are even worse than democrats if you actually thought that trump was the winning option.
"Anyone who wants the Democrats to win against Trump is actually a Trump supporter!"
I hated hearing it in 2016, 2020, and 2024
With who her enemy was, it doesnt matter who she said it to. The fact that she had to say it in the first place means Teamsters is an enemy of the country.
Fucking thank you.
It was, though, at least in practice.
