~~Ok for real though, was this a union leadership call, or was it a vote? Because I’d be a bit shocked if this was achieved by a vote. And if it was a leadership call, I’d expect new leadership shortly.~~

Edit:

On Wednesday, the union released the results of their survey, which was conducted after Biden dropped out of the race. It found that almost 60% of rank-and-file union members preferred to endorse Trump, while 34% backed Harris.

Jesus christ. The aggregate idiocy is shocking.

This is what we get from unions purged of socialists: workers lacking class consciousness.
