Wisconsin Teamsters calls Harris endorsement a ‘no-brainer’ as national union declines to back either candidate for president
Bill Carroll, who serves as president of the Milwaukee-based Teamsters Joint Council 39 Executive Board, which unanimously endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket, called the decision a “no-brainer” as Wisconsin joined local chapters in other battleground states, including Michigan and Nevada.
There's a reason Reagan declared war on unions before he declared war on everything else - environmental protection, health care, consumer rights, financial regulation. Unions are how working people fight for a better world for all of us. They're how everyday people come together to resist oligarchy, extraction and exploitation.
The #Teamsters have been historically known fighting for rights of all, race, sexually, gender identity, the undocumented workers, everyone. I've seen it myself and been a part of it. Everyone in the workforce is made to be proud for hard work and rewarded for it. The billionaires really hate the lack of divisiveness in a strong union work force and attempt to drive wedges between the strong unity and solidarity.

A new coalition called The Union Solidarity Coalition (TUSC) was launched by various Hollywood workers and stars, including Ben Stiller, Boots Riley. Lula Wang, Jay Roach, Daniel Kwan, and Natasha Lyonne.\
\
TUSC hopes to inspire workers not just in Hollywood to take action but around the country. The group launches its effort during the “Summer of Strikes,” with massive nationwide strikes looming of over 340,000 Teamsters at UPS and 150,000 UAW Members employed by the “Big Three” automakers as well as elsewhere. Strikes elsewhere, in particular, a series of roving hotel workers strike throughout Southern California, including near Disneyland, have helped Hollywood workers to think about how they can expand their solidarity to help other unions.\
\
“Watching people honor our picket lines touched and inspired us, and presented us with a model for unity in action,” said the TUSC in a statement. “Though the [Writers’ Guild] strike is the catalyst for creating TUSC, we feel this is just the beginning of a larger, urgent movement of solidarity between all of the industry unions, and also our coworkers who aren’t part of a union. We want to think big about how we can support each other in the face of a national labor crisis.”

How bad is the heat in a UPS package car? Never mind frying an egg on the sidewalk, drivers can bake cookies on their dashboards.
