The Teamsters president claims the vice president cut a union meeting short and declared she would "win with you or without you."

    Reminder: this is the same Teamster that spoke at the Republican convention, making these comments to Tucker Carlson.

    You probably shouldn’t take this at face value and assume this was her attitude toward labor in general.

      It’s bullshit on it’s face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

      One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop.

      So the guy is just lying about that, of course there’s no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster’s face.

        Excuse my ignorance on American doublespeak, but does the “right to work” just mean the “right for companies to employ scabs”?

      With who her enemy was, it doesnt matter who she said it to. The fact that she had to say it in the first place means Teamsters is an enemy of the country.
