I tried to point out to them that they were voting against their own interest and even with two assistant stewards who had big teamster stickers on the back window of their toyota pickups and a fuck joe biden bumper sticker, I retired because of it, I already had my time in and took my retirement and left.
Those guys are still assistant stewards and the membership at our hall was at least 65% trumpers it's sickening, hell I think our business agent was a trumper.
Don't get me started, I am happily retired now that Joe has fixed our pensions, got a letter from Central states retirement fund a while back explaining how the butch lewis act saved our pensions and My pension is funded to last throughout the rest of my life and beyond.
It sickens me at what the membership has become.
Hopefully TDU Sean O' brien and Zuckerman can turn things around for the young chickens that are brain washed into voting for colonel sanders.
Rrrrrrrrrr
