[DigitalDrifter]

Wow, first time ever a Teamsters boss speaking at the RNC.
Wonder what the labor community thinks about this?

Trump is a New York guy, tough as nails. He was called the blue collar billionaire. Look at the way he walks. Like a Longshoreman. Of course the teamsters will back him.

He’s speaking up about America workers. Hopefully there are a few repugs who aren’t knee jerk anti union people.

About half of the Republicans are populists.

Which makes them pro labor and pro working class

On the other hand, the Dem leadership are elitists, which is why they're losing the unions.

Republicans are for American workers, it's their unions that might as well be an arm of the DNC they have the problem with.

Yeah, screw the unions who are responsible for their higher wages, better healthcare packages and decent working conditions.

We don't need them, just trust the corporate management to look out for the little guy. They certainly have no incentive to screw them over.

Unions are a thing of the past, Simp.

At least he got the second part right.

 

[Marener]

Unions are a thing of the past, Simp.

And so are better wages, working conditions and adequate healthcare benefits.

Thank your friendly power hungry billionaire.
