Betsey Stevenson on Harris Meeting with Teamsters Union

Published 2024-09-16
Betsey Stevenson, University of Michigan Professor of Public Policy and Economics, discusses Vice President Kamala Harris meeting with Teamsters union President Sean O'Brien to determine if O'Brien will endorse a candidate for President. Stevenson states it's worth noting how tough the union is about who they choose to endorse, and talks about how growing support of unions from the public has impacted how they bargain. She speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on Bloomberg's "Balance of Power."

  • @willberry6434
    In what universe could trump possibly be better for unions. He explicitly just said with Elon that he likes to fire strikers
  • Lots of voters just want to know they are respected, they want to be ASKED. Famously Trump won some states in 2016 because he asked (with rallies) and Hillary did not. She assumed they knew she would help them, but people are more emotional than they are rational.
  • @il38694
    Teamsters head endorsement doesn't grantinee members vote the dame!
  • There is a section in Project 2025 just for union workers. They don't give a damn about you, your job or your union.
