Sorry about YOUR jobs, homies. Plenty of high productivity jobs out there in non-union shops. /s
Been a member, don't remember ever seeing any benefit that was better than ordinary unions.🇨🇦
Shameless and shameful.
The real ones, not the wannabe at 1600
Pendejo!
I'm speaking about the one on the left of course. I don't think the other guy is capable of that emotion.
But this is what America voted for. Our time to stop it was in November and we didn't.
Its far better for them to be present and in opposition
He's doing illegal shit, protest, grind the gears, don't just go about shit like normal.
I'm all in favor of protecting and trying to bring change, but I think it's naive to think dems can stop him just because we're upset. Elections have consequences
Republicans have yet to pass anything through congress.
They're literally doing what you're saying they should do
68% of Democratic voters think the party should be doing more. Watching party leadership I agree 💯.
Elections have consequences. We're on the ride now and can't get back off. We had our chance in November.
People hate dem leadership because they're still pissed about losing
Republicans would do all of this. Dems are too obsessed with tradition.
Why would a federal worker stay in their job with a gun when they aren't getting a paycheck?
I understand the anger but we can't be dumb
Protests are inherently disruptive. If government can still carry out business, and the economy continues to run uninterrupted, there are effectively no protests.
Also note, my comment was truth & did not advocate for one way or the other.
They've yet to pass a significant bill
•Newly Laid off fed. Wkrs
•Students Loan Forgiveness
•Progressives patiently awaiting PROGRESS
•Farmers (victims of doge)
•Bernie's Gang: we needn't fear the "S" word
•LGBTQ b/c all ppl. deserve Freedom Liberty
•The American Worker
•Ukrainians
•Pro-NATO friends
•Anti-Muskites
NO AMAZON, no Walmart, no Target, no gas, no movies, no Tesla - signal that Americans have had enough. #Boycott #Feb28
My god, I can't stand him.

Now they are discovering he is a lying sack of shit lunatic in love with Vladimir Putin
I wonder if this guy knows what Hitler did to labor unions after he took power.
When are the articles of impeachment going to be ready?
His is another appeaser. His destiny is sealed.
He will forever be stained by his supplicant TDS Trump Devotion Syndrome.
However, eat crow and resist this, Teamsters!
She is excrement.

Most of my local voted for Harris
All in one fell swoop!!!
DAMN! 😬😡
I’m sure his next job in the administration as a consultant to help pass right to work initiatives is secure by now
U. S. Supreme Court
Justices send
Federal Marshalls to arrest those ppl that are defying court orders?
It's over. The oligarchy is here forever now.
If you cant be enouraging then find a sport that exhausts these emotions right out if you! 😂 Raquet ball worked for me!
No, wait, the 40... 35...30...
He could roll all the way...
Touchdown!
Honest question. It’s so beyond sense.
We voted 95% for Harris while this clown lied to us and said he would fight for our rights
false on endorsing
IBT did not endorse either Presidential candidate in 2024
also local teamsters ACTUALLY endorsed Harris
in defiance of IBT prez

he spoke at RNC convention
Local teamsters ACTUALLY did endorse Harris
https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/teamster-locals-defying-neutrality-of-national-leadership-endorse-harris/
Speaking at the RNC is not an endorsement..... OK.
fwiw, speaking at the RNC cost him a slot at DNC convention bc democrats were angry that he spoke there
O'Brien wanted to address both conventions
which is why this was such a consequential election
What on earth are you smoking?
he did speak at RNC convention, which could be construed to be a tacit endorsement
LOCAL teamsters in many swing states came out and actually endorsed Harris
https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/teamster-locals-defying-neutrality-of-national-leadership-endorse-harris/
O'Brien didn't endorse either party,
to there great good credit, LOCAL teamsters absolutely did endorse Kamala
As a lifelong union member his appearance at RNC was a gut punch-
You don’t have to love the Democratic Party but the clear anti-union rhetoric by republicans should have been enough of a reason not to engage with them whatsoever - unless you operate in bad faith 👀
+ Biden was the most pro-union prez in many years
They were stupid.

If you suck at your job, if your job is redundant, if you work for some partisan political NGO, or whatever---you gotta go
All of this trimming is designed of this country to become lean and mean and get us out of debt.
Our kids deserve better
He is NOT with the union members
He’s only looking out for himself and eyeing the Labor Secretary position should it open up at some point
They need to hold a special election & vote his duplicitous ass out
