AFL-CIO Unanimously Endorses Kamala Harris for President
July 22, 2024
Thank you for your acknowledgment.
It is well known Union bosses will back democrats in high office to receive perks and special favors. However the rank and file have a mind of their own, for example the Teamsters union rank and file.

“Union leaders say many of their members are thrilled about Harris, a stalwart labor ally, after harboring doubts about President Joe Biden’s age. But underneath that surge of enthusiasm, they acknowledge that Trump still appeals to some of their members, and Harris’ success in the election could hinge on her ability to win over union swing voters.”

“Union leaders also admit that it is a challenge that members don’t always follow their endorsements. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and a Harris ally, said “labor and labor leaders are not monoliths, nor do we have magic wands, nor do we have fairy dust. People make their own decisions.”

Union bosses and the rank and file are of two different mind sets.
