A Labor Union, by definition, works towards improving the lives of their members. Advocating for one parties policies over another is simply part of the process.
Wait, a Union leader that listens to its membership and reflects that in its messaging? And furthermore, acknowledges the diversity within its ranks? What is this, Crazytown?
"We want to get it back to the point when everyone respected and loved that when they were flying on a Boeing airplane, they knew they were getting the best quality product out there, and that they were flying on the safest plane."
Gives a while new meaning to "budget" airlines. Are they budgeting on c-suite bonus packages? No. It's on service and, more importantly, on safety.
Publicly traded corporations are self devouring parasitic entities. They are inherently unhealthy, made unhealthier through the consolidation of monopolies. With all the monopolization going on now, we are seeing collapses a whole companies and industries happening at around the same time. If you have to report profits every quarter, eventually have to start chipping away at the very essence of what makes your company valuable. When you start compromising safety on airplanes. That's kind of game over
Hamilton, what do you think accounts for the differences between the Teamsters and these guys, given you say the demographics are about the same? Leadership, like he said?
I don't think any Union should support a political party!

If you think publicly traded companies are parasitic wait till you work for private equity- it will be parasitic on steroids.

Yes. I have a piece in In These Times on this coming later today.
Sonuvabitch, you’re a good writer. Clear, honest, funny. I hadn’t considered the multifaceted fuckupedness of the non-endorsement.
I hope the Teamsters rank and file dump this idiot.
