Union organization support of a party or candidate usually doesn’t mean anything.

Here in Canada I’m with the NDP and I’ve gone to a few party conventions… my early ones I met lots of great people but they also taught me a bitter truth.

Union people are often easily manipulated and are fairly narrow with their views.

Even when their entire organization shows support for the NDP, the members will often vote for conservative or liberal and never NDP.

-and another union foolishly ties itself to a sinking ship. I guess even “militant” unionists still can’t think outside the ballot box. Disappointing, but unsurprising.

Biden, Trump support foolish. Better than alternative ballot. Union endorsed preference. Militant, but loss.

Think outside the ballot box.

NightGaunts OP ,

Wrong, ballot Trump. Support union must Biden vote. Trump. Important general election. Union backs supporters not Donald Trump

He just flushed away the political capital of an almost 400,000 worker union. Way to negotiate for even a crumb of a symbolic concession, before the primaries are even over. And to a president who crushed a rail strike just a year ago.

NightGaunts OP ,

Union support grows. Trump support among union. High growth necessary to sustain mid term economic. Biden preferable Trump supporter

Trump is no scab - he’d never walk across a picket line.

Drive across in a golf cart, however…
