The Teamsters Union, representing more than one million members, released the results of its presidential poll among members — showing that almost 60 percent of Teamsters support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The poll, released on Wednesday, shows that the most recent telephone poll of Teamsters — taken September 9-15, 2024 — found that
58 percent support Trump in the presidential election while just 31 percent back Harris. About six percent are undecided, and five percent are unsure.
Commentary:
This comes as no surprise. Most trade union members are at least a little conservative. It’s the leadership that is uniformly liberal/Marxist.
So how do these union leaders get elected, and then re-elected, over and over again? The election process is heavily slanted towards incumbents. Plus there are all sorts of voting shenanigans.
Has anyone checked on the salaries in leadership as compared to the rank and file members?
Just as government, its the Union leadership that sells out its membership...
Similarly, a report by Breitbart a few years ago showed that only 43% of teachers are "Democrats", while 57% were "Conservative. Yet,
Union leaders still misappropriate union funds to "Democrat Neo-Marxists."
Seriously, why would a Teamster vote for the candidate that will cut off their source of income! A trucker won't be able to drive their diesel powered truck if Harris and Democrats get their way!
They could not afford the cost of fuel.
