UAW members deem Trump 'much more trustworthy' than Biden: He 'speaks our language'
Fox Business ^ | 1 March 2024 | Kristen Altus

Although the United Auto Workers (UAW) union voiced their support for Biden as an organization, some current and retired members claim they’re leaning the other way.

"Donald Trump speaks our language. He came in and speaks directly to us," one UAW member told FOX Business’ Grady Trimble outside the union headquarters in Detroit.

"I would say, among the people I work with across all demographic spans, really, there's a lot of support for Trump," a second member added on "Varney & Co." on Friday.

Today’s GOP represents the middle class and the working class.

Same with most unions. For some reason the organization feels the need to support Rats, but the hands support the conservatives.
Rats say they support unions, Repubs don’t. Repubs support actual work, Rats don’t.

Not surprising that the left is screaming about white conservative voters being a threat to democracy when we know that the Dems are losing the union vote and black men and Asians big time.

I meant to say “white rural voters” in my post.

Attention Union workers, middle class, working class. All who love America. Vote for the ones who want to build America up, not tear it down. Please.

Some union enforcer who moved up the ranks to the top like the mob finally figured it out.

For decades the news media said “UAW supports the Democrat XX” and didn’t notice the actual union members we usually 40-50% for the GOP candidates.

However, many millions of dollars under the classification “education” goes as 100% campaign money to Dems and they send members out to polling places paid to hand out leaflets.

The FIRST day in office “he who shits his pant” stopped the Keystone pipeline Project. That ended thousands of good paying union jobs and cost millions of dollars to contractors to shut it down.

He who shits his pant did that!

Trump is no one’s fool and he is setting up a massive wave of support. This is why I am so fearful that the deep state will be driven to extreme measures like assassination, violent riots, Military Coup, or Germ Warfare. They may well start a Civil War, only to crush it like Jan 6 to spawn an anti-MAGA reaction. Fall will be a time of great danger for the republic.

Nobody wants more Uniparty except those who benefit from the Uniparty.

Here it is, as explained to me. I am in Alaska, don’t know if this is the same everywhere.
The Unions are “forced” to endorse candidates. The Democrats are pro-union and anti-right to work. They “love” union labor. However, when when big projects come up, the Dim’s always block it for one reason or another; usually environmental or social. On the other hand, Repub’s are pro projects so there is work to be had, but they are anti-union. We do have a fair amount of politicians who are Repub’s and pro union up here for that reason. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The stoppage of the Keystone XL killed a lot of union jobs. First, the construction of the pipeline and second the refinery jobs in Port Arthur TX. Port Arthur is in Jefferson county which is heavily union and heavily democrat. Obiden forked over his voters from the first day.

The UAW is irrelevant.

The companies that employee UAW members are all endangered by the massive Tesla disruption
