Hoffa critic elected to succeed him as Teamster president
www.cnn.com
Sean O'Brien will be the next president of the 1.4-million member Teamsters union, succeeding James Hoffa, the son of the union's most famous leader who has led the union for 23 years.

Big win for the biggest union in America. After years of limp dick diplomacy that allowed the bosses to start making lives more miserable for all affiliated teamster branches the teamsters strike back by electing a guy that's not just willing to say he's going to organize mass strikes but is willing to do it if the bosses don't bend over for the workers.

It's gonna be delicious watching not just Amazon quaking in their boots with their impending war to unionize them, but also all the other already unionized corps like UPS, the airlines, trucker corps, etc. Having to cope with giving back more to the workers

Election results

Sean O'Brien: total votes: 115573

Steve Vairma: total votes: 57983

The Hoffa endorsed candidate Vairma got crushed up and down the ballot you love to see it folks.

Feel like supporting the militant unionists movement in the teamsters? Check out their website for opportunities or shit

      Who needs idealist optimism when you got materialist realism. The class consciousness of the American workers is ripening with every strike across the country and you have to be terminally online to the point you've fused to your armchair to think now isn't the time for the socialist left to move in lockstep with the worker movement

        Of course the left needs to work in tandem with the worker movement. But there's no reason to believe it's going to work. This is America, good things don't happen here

          The right side won the Civil War. Jim Crow aint a thing no more, Weed is getting legalized. good things can and do happen and losing sight of em is a one way ticket to just becoming Bill Maher

            What's the point of being on this platform we specifically can't get banned from, if we're not gonna actually speak our minds? Why censor yourself as if you're on Reddit when the whole point of hex bear is that it's not reddit?

            Edit not denying your point tho

      gotta hold on to hope. There's going to be a lot of chaos this century, and chaos leads to change.
