I have belonged to a union for over 35 years. The Teamsters called for the support of Obama for president. They said that he would be good for labor and that we would benefit with him in control, along with a democrat controlled congress and senate.
Good for labor? Lets look at just a few things going on.
1. Hundreds of billions of dollars thrown at Wall Street and the banking industry. Remember all the performance bonuses some of these CEO's and directors got? I wonder how many union members these industries employ. Maybe some of the janitors and also if they need an electrician or a plumber. Outside of that I think not very many union men and women work for the financial section of America.

Now comes the auto industry. The UAW employs hundreds of thousands of workers. Workers that produce hard manufactured goods sold in this country and around the world. It's not just GM and Chrysler, there are more jobs connected to this industry than I can think of and list.
President Obama is willing to let GM and Chrysler go bankrupt so that they can cancel all of the UAW contracts between the auto makers and the workers.
Way to go Teamsters! Lets support a man for president that is going to ruin hundreds of thousands of workers and their families. It does not stop there. As soon as other industries that feel they can increase the CEO and Board of Directors personal bank accounts, they will do the same thing. File bankruptcy to void labor contracts, pay their employees less and give them less benefits just to increase their pay.

Hundreds of billions of dollars were paid out in bonuses for companies that were losing hundreds of billions of dollars??? I don't get it. Lets reward these failing companies and in the same breath tell our hard working men and women in the auto industry to go suck it up and work for 20 30 or 40 percent of what you used to make.

It is time to save our true work force!
