VIEWPOINT | Some Teamsters are joining the right team

Column by Froma Harrop

How is it possible that the Teamsters still haven’t made an official presidential endorsement? Really, are they going to choose Donald Trump, who conned them into believing he’d help save their pensions? Or Kamala Harris, whose boss, Joe Biden, actually did – and to the tune of $36 billion? Doesn’t sound like a tough decision to me. 

I used to be a Teamster. Joining was a requirement of a job as a bus tour guide. As a former badge-wearing member, I was stunned at the sight of Teamster president Sean O’Brien kissing Trump’s rear end at the Republican National Convention.

O’Brien said the union didn’t automatically endorse Biden because it had to first do its “due diligence.” Oh? Was more careful investigation required after Biden signed a law that saved the pensions of 350,0000 retired Teamsters?
