"If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.”

Fucking get them! I'll do my part and demand refunds on every single package that's even a little late.

Teamsters voted for Trump.

The rank and file may have.

They can get Republicans to support them.

This is too irony-poisoned for me to interpret.

This is what happens when socialists are purged from the labor movement. You end up with anti-communist unions that don’t develop class consciousness among the rank & file, and where the leadership is in partnership with the employers.
