All the union leaders who supported Trump (like Sean O'Brien) should have to answer some painful questions about Trump rescinding collective bargaining rights for TSA agents.

Union leadership in many cases are corrupt as the perks and klickbacks are influencing motivators
So they don’t pushback against the mostly uneducated rank and file
Who support a person like Trump who hates them
It’s antisolidaristic - what O’Brien is doing. I got into it with a Teamster on X who talked up their commitment to organize the south - which is real. But their support for this and RTW states undermines all of it. I don’t get it at all
Unions like Steamfitters who supported Trump failed to recognize Trump has NEVER liked unions. Unions can make a huge difference. I insured all of Steamfitters when I was an insurance broker long ago. Their leadership 30 years ago was more intelligent than this. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DnhPgM3Gn/?mibextid=wwXIfr
The fools from labor that chose to support him ignored all of the signals trump has shown himself on the subject as well as the republican party’s history on the matter. They will do everything and anything they can to rid this nation of organized labor.
Unions & their members who support Trump and O’Brien have done more to undermine their own interests than any anti-union org could ever have hoped to achieve. Sean O’Brien is nothing more than an opportunistic grifter and thug who gained his cred slashing tires & now has made a deal with the devil.
Most people outside the industry don’t know this, but it is virtually impossible for unionized airline employees to legally strike. They want this for TSA now too.
And how about the gutting of #OSHA and the Republicans push to push it back to the states! Like I’m sure the red states are really gonna look out for #Blue-CollarWorkers and their #Safety when they climb into a 9 foot deep trench with no shoring?! And Sean O’Brien was badmouthing Trump and suddenly?
Douchebag Scott Walker is laughing his ass off.
Act 10, a law that he spearheaded in 2011 took away collective bargaining rights (except for pay, for which there was no money) for teachers unions and all other public employees except police and fire. Regular Wisconsinites still haven't recovered.
What did union members think was going to happen? They voted all in for the cult leader. Now, they want any support from the public? My family was a union family. My Dad is probably turning in his grave over today's union sell out to the cult leader.
I suspect those who betrayed union building ethos to align themselves to the MAGA mantras&ideals really dont care about the people they are meant to serve. They've become selfish people serving selfish ends. Their posturing of submission to MAGA should bring them no rest. Unions should oust them.
Wow scary times in America. I'm not coming on holiday to the US, that's for sure. There are so many things in the handmaid's tale that appear to be coming true. Margret Atwood was almost prophetic. Stay safe
They want to break unions, and push wages to the floor. They want lots of poor people who will work long hours for very little money and with no rights.
Like in russia.
Pretty sure Christy Noem can't just "arbitrarily" end a collective bargaining agreement/contract----I've worked on many as a retired 35 year educator and I don't believe this action would stand up in court as the letter says "they will stop collecting union dues" like that is a big + --this is BS
The company doesn’t have to assist the the collection of dues. Just means they need to pay them directly to the local. They can’t stop collective bargaining. The union would win in court
Exactly but the letter throws out there about “the savings” the TSA workers will have with no union dues—it’s union busting on a Right To Work—Freedom Foundation level BS
Yup. Now that I think of it even the collection of dues are in the contracts I have helped with throughout my union days. If this makes it to the high courts he thinks they will side with him however if they were to do that it would mean contracts mean nothing between entities
I was a Local Education Association President, and the county next to mine did the stop the automatic deductions in their district, and it was devastating. They are still recovering from the damage it did to their local. This is straight-up scumbaggery!
Weird letter.
"Senior official performing the duties of Adam Stahl" - So has Adam been fired or did he refuse to sign the message?
Has this nameless 'senior officer' been correctly appointed?
Is he one of Musk's kids? Big Balls or whatever he calls himself?
There aren't a lot of opposition figures within Teamsters leadership to replace him that wouldn't be *more* reactionary. He ran on a reform ticket against the old guard.
It’s like a malignant rebirth of Reagan and his freeze wages and hiring BS to strangle government. Not sure, but I don’t think he went this far. Not sure it’s legal either. Plus, he was unable-for now-to fire the NLRB member.
Teamster next big meeting is their UNITY event April 14-16 in Las Vegas (this year). Bet you some S will be flying about SOB selling IBT & all union people out for an S show. Trucking will suffer hard with tariffs, funding freeze & farmers suffering.
If teamsters stood up to SOB we might no be here.
How much ya wanna bet just like all the DOGE attacks they don't really want to improve "productivity and efficiency", instead they intend the opposite?
Nah, a work slowdown would really throw sand in the gears. I go caught in a security screaming slowdown at Heathrow a few years ago. Message received and I wasn’t that put out.

All the workers who fell for this nonsense.
Biden has supported Unions all throughout his 4 years but many of them betrayed Democrats by voting Trump 🤦🏽♂️.
When has Trump or Republicans ever been pro union?
Just look at who they surround themselves with. Jeff Bezos (anti union), Elon Musk (anti Union)...ect
So they don’t pushback against the mostly uneducated rank and file
Who support a person like Trump who hates them
Yeah—he needs some tough questions.

“Donald Trump is a Scab!”
This?
Why would controlling TSA matter?

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
You know of any labor leaders that actually endorsed Trump?
If teamsters stood up to SOB we might no be here.
It's the civilized man's second amendment.
