Foreign truck drivers, dispatchers, brokers, and carriers are at war with AMERICAN CITIZENS!

@MattConlan2 @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward Teamsters requested that Biden stay out of it. He chose not to and sided with the rail companies. Intervention is a choice under the RLA.

@jm79ny @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward No, they absolutely did not. Read the RLA

The Teamsters are the most glaring example of "just deliver for people's material needs and they'll support you" no longer being the case. Biden bailed out their pensions using tax-payer dollars and they decided to pivot to the GOP because Trans people and 'woke.'

@TheGreyMouser__ @1972_Scarlett @Teamsters Pension funds wouldn’t need a bailout of Democrats hadn’t worked with republicans years ago to deregulate the trucking industry to do away with union representation in freight.

@1972_Scarlett @Teamsters Cool story, Scarlett. Oh, except Biden and the Democrats literally bailed out the Teamsters' pension fund for $36B and literally walked union picket lines. Abbott's campaign site literally and specifically states he's anti-union, you transparent right wing propaganda account.

Teamsters Joint Council 58 and Joint Council 80, which represent 40,000 rank-and-file Teamsters across Texas, have jointly endorsed Greg Abbott (R-TX) in his re-election for governor. “Governor Abbott has kept an open door to the Teamsters Union during his tenure and has been willing and eager to partner with us on job creation and workplace protections,” said Brent Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer of Joint Council 80 and International Vice President for the Southern Region. “As our union has shown on a national level, the Teamsters care less about political affiliation and more about protecting good-paying union jobs. Texas Teamsters are proud to support candidates that support the American worker — and in this race, that candidate in Governor Abbott.” As the current governor, Abbott has given unions a seat at the table and worked to bring more jobs to Texas. He has joined the Teamsters to tackle several priority issues, such as investing in apprenticeship and job training programs, film tax credits, and addressing the threat of autonomous vehicles.

@mattmcgee32 @1972_Scarlett @Teamsters CSPF needed a bailout because of what democrats did 45 years ago deregulating the trucking industry. It was a direct attack on teamsters.

@1972_Scarlett @Teamsters Sure buddy

@MaryDil29664033 @ImNotOwned @RyanElward He literally did the opposite to the rail workers. For the record Abbot is a POS, but the democrats don’t need to act like he is the only one that shits on unions. Unions owe the democrats nothing, republicans even less.

@jm79ny @ImNotOwned @RyanElward The only president to picket is Biden a democrat. And I'm not sure why you think fighting to better pay and benefits isn't supporting unions

@MattConlan2 @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward Also, intervention under the RLA is not a requirement but a choice.

@jm79ny @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward Nope. It has nothing to do with that. Read the RLA

@rawphood @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward Pretty sure I know more about it than you do furry

@jm79ny @Wilson__Valdez @RyanElward You haven’t actually read that agreement have you? 😭

@MaryDil29664033 @ImNotOwned @RyanElward No. Neither do democrats

@jm79ny @ImNotOwned @RyanElward Awwww you think republicans give a shit about unions?

@MattConlan2 @ImNotOwned @RyanElward So what am I missing? Union was loyal to Democrats for ages with nothing to show for it. I don’t think Abbot is anything but a POS but he’s already governor and likely to stay that way. What do you lose by endorsing someone who will probably not win?

@jm79ny @ImNotOwned @RyanElward You’ve got part of this right

@AmanitaFugax @MattConlan2 People forget the 2022 rail contract. And that the reason the cspf needed a bailout was the targeted attack on union freight companies that began under Carter. Disagree with the endorsement but we don’t owe democrats anything.

@MattConlan2 Everything is done for political advantage. Thats why O’Brien shopped around to Republicans. I’m glad those people don’t have to live in poverty in retirement from the bailout but thinking O’Brien isn’t jockeying strictly for political advantage is naïve.

Democrats cannot keep playing ball with unions who act like this. At some point you become the guy in the relationship who sticks around even though your wife keeps cheating on you knowing you’ll never leave. Teamsters want to be Republicans, have at it.

@AmusedCynic1982 @ImNotOwned @RyanElward I hope one runs over your family

@jm79ny @ImNotOwned @RyanElward We're permitting autonomous trucks as soon as possible. ESAD.

@ABetterWay2A Have they heard there’s a video?

@USAttyEssayli @BadLegalTakes

If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don’t do it!

@unusual_whales There should be a 10000% tariff on call centers

India has made its best offer to the US on trade and the fate of an interim deal now lies in the hands of President Donald Trump, per Bloomberg.

@Teamsters Don’t forget shifters

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Tuesday issued a formal request for information to UPS on its current delivery of air-conditioned vehicles to drivers, outstanding grievances on overtime violations by the company, and the status of full-time job offers to tens of thousands of part-time workers. Nearly 340,000 Teamsters ratified an historic five-year agreement with UPS in August 2023, guaranteeing the delivery of at least 28,000 package cars and vans with air conditioning and the fulfillment of 22,500 permanent full-time jobs — key contract provisions that UPS may already be failing to live up to. “We are halfway into our union’s national contract and the Teamsters are gravely concerned that UPS is not living up to its end of the deal,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “In so many ways — from the painfully slow delivery of air-conditioned vehicles to overworking our rank-and-file and failing to provide up-to-date information on new job opportunities — UPS has a lot of catching up to do to honor this agreement. The weather is getting worse, but still our members show up every single day to ensure this company remains the best in the business. The Teamsters’ patience with UPS mismanagement is wearing thin.” The Teamsters have given UPS until July 1 to respond to its information request. The union is demanding the current number of full-time job opportunities offered to part-time workers to date, under Article 22 of the UPS Teamsters National Master Agreement. The company is also obligated to create 7,500 more full-time jobs during the last three years of the contract. The union is also asking for more details on all open and settled grievances related to overtime abuses under Article 37. The provision, known as the 9.5 list, protects workers who the company forces to work overtime and awards additional compensation to Teamsters who suffer repeated violations by UPS. Under Article 18 of the current contract, UPS must deliver new or replacement vehicles equipped with air conditioning to drivers nationwide, prioritizing Teamsters working in the company’s Zone 1 delivery area. With oppressive summer heat already affecting major parts of the country, exceeding 100 degrees as far north as New York, Zone 1 workers in the hottest southern states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada are still waiting for UPS to honor its legal and contractual obligations on heat protections. In its information request, the union is asking for all available data on the status of air conditioning and UPS’s plans for the final rollout of the upgraded fleet. The Teamsters Package Division estimates that UPS has so far delivered only 10 percent of required air-conditioned vehicles, making the company’s response to the request for information all the more urgent. “How does UPS expect to actually deliver 20,000 or more air-conditioned package cars and vans over the next two years, when the delivery giant is already so far behind? We want answers,” O’Brien said. “The summer heat beating down on our members is no joke. UPS is playing a dangerous game with the lives of thousands of essential American workers.”

@Smith_WessonInc Does it come in 10mm?

@RatCatcherMpls I would personally contribute half of my earnings to PBS if they would produce an episode where big bird kicked the living shit out of these idiots.
