The disconnect between the working class and the self-proclaimed elites that rule above them is very clear in this self-admission from UAW Boss Shawn Fain.
UAW President Shawn Fain admits he endorsed Joe Biden despite the “great majority” of the UAW members who do not support him. WATCH:
Labor union bosses are like politicians. They are appointed to positions of power by people they despise. This is one of the reasons why it is important to break the cycle of abuse known as ‘battered conservative syndrome’.
UAW Union Boss and ‘Never Trumper’ concedes that most rank-and-file members will vote for President Trump:
"A great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden…the majority of our members are going to vote their paychecks."

Good! MAGA baby!!!
God bless all Union Workers… they are like us… good honorable people who want what’s best for Americans
During 50 years in union jobs, I found that most members would sell their mothers down the river for another 10%.
Just look at how the school teachers have sold the kids to the gender benders and marxists to keep those raises coming in.
How many said “I’ll quit this job before subject kids to this”?
None.
Not me. I will not indoctrinate my students. I teach language arts, history, with some art and drama included (Humanities). I tell them to do their own research, look at multiple perspectives, and form their own conclusions. I don’t tell them who I vote for or what my religious affiliation is.
Cool – that’s the way my high school teachers taught me back in the day – even most of my professors in college.
Lorrie,
You must be a G/T teacher. It sounds like you truly respect your students, their families, and the traditions and beliefs that their parents have worked so hard to instill in their children.
Thank you!
Sorry didn’t see your comment. Agree, I didn’t bring any of my ideology into the classroom. These debates were among the students and I always played devil’s advocate.
We need more teachers like you. Thank you.
I don’t think of teachers as “good honorable people”…I was speaking of the trades…yet I understand why you called me out…I will try to do better.
Yes, but the teachers and AFSCME members all went to college for the final brainwashing. Most trades and UAW members have not.
The AFSCAME people were just nasty Communists. Ugh…
That is government unions. Skilled labor union rank and file like Trump.
Not true! I retired early with half my pension because I would not subject my students to these lies. I know dozens of teachers much younger than I, who have just walked away from the profession. The good and best teachers with a moral conscience are leaving our tragic educational system.
I had several neighbors who were teachers. Great people. All of a sudden two of them pulled their kids out of the public school and into a Catholic school. The teachers also quit their jobs and started working in the Catholic schools. I always wondered why they did this. Once all this info came out about what they were teaching I now know why. God bless them.
Laughable comment and obviously don’t know anything about the public school system. Taught for 32 years and I remember a many where we got zero pay raises. So you can take that notion and file it in your memory banks. Raises coming…..laughable.
Teaching is a closed shop union. You have to pay regardless. Though, if you wanted the full throated support of your union, you even had to pay extra for that. I didn’t and was always hounded for that few extra dollars.
Well said. When I was touring N. CA in 1993, doing debates with school people, to promote the school choice initiative on the ballot, I got a good look at the scumbags that control the schools.
Nasty, scummy, cruel, tacky, greedy crooks… And that included teachers. Most were dumb as a rock.
None of them cared about the kids. Not for one minute.
I would be careful being this generous to union folk.
I lived in NH during the 90’s and helped Pat Buchanan and the union workers in northern NH loved Buchanan.
Today I live in rural Minnesota and volunteer for DJT and the union workers here love Trump.
I’ll take the union worker in my foxhole any day.
More people (like those of us in right-to-work states do) should realize that life can and does exist very well without unions.
uhhhh wut?
Not the SEICU. It’s a broad brush, not a good long range plan to let govt workers unionize.
Union workers should’ve rebelled against their slavemasters years ago and thrown off the yoke. Maybe unions get people better this or that, maybe not. Members just don’t know for sure. Two things that unions do accomplish for sure are (1) being yet another master and (2) spend huge chunks of hard-earned dues money on who-knows-what.
USAF had a chance to unionize back in the mid-1980s… we were told it was a sort of “constitutional responsibility” for somebody to ask us. It took all of about 5 seconds to nuke that question into oblivion.
Dominion Voting Systems begs to differ.
Dominion is irrelevant, and anyone still repeating that broken record is ignorant, or is repeating a narrative intended to suppress MAGA votes.
IMHO,…
Say what 😳🤔🫣
Sorry dutch , couldn’t disagree more .
Uh oh… now you will incur the wrath of Scut Farkas (dutchman) and his wingman Grover Gill (Black Knight) for daring to disagree with either one of the self – proclaimed hall monitors. Strange thing is, you received no response from dutch.
They are far from irrelevant – but it should NOT suppress people voting, it should make people more determined than ever to vote and to work to get others of like mind to vote.
If the vote for PDJT is overwhelming enough, they will find it impossible to change the results.
Speaking of which – if any ballot counting offices “stop the count” during the night, people should immediately swarm the place. If any polling place says the machines are down, people need to stay there and in line for as long as it takes. No giving up, no quarter.
Almost All Americans (UAW or otherwise) who have a clue and are loyal to the U.S. Constitution want Trump – not Biden. This is about good v. evil Those in favor of humanity and those against humanity. Those in favor of America and those against America. UAW workers also want good jobs and a secure border and good education etc. TRUMP !!!! The UAW workers don’t want to lose their jobs because of climate scam!!! TRUMP HAS PROVEN THAT HE WILL DEFEND AMERICAN JOBS!!!
Trump is the only person who genuinely cares about you, me, and this country.
Union bosses become union bosses by ballot stuffing?
What do ya think?
Absolutely, with a side of coercion and extortion.
They become union bosses the same way politicians become office holders. Same mentality, same corruption and same process.
First, they get in with the “good ole boy network” at the local union levels. Most local union “leaders” are usually the lazy, loud mouth deadbeats that get elected to their “offices” because most rank and file members don’t want the job. Most are too busy raising a family, and living their lives and don’t want the bother, the hassel of the union politics or dealing with management with members complaints either real or imagined.
As it goes up the union political ladder, the district and international bosses and their political appointees make these local union “officials” feel important to the “movement” and brainwash them with slogans like “President Trump is a scab”, you are a scab if you don’t support your union leadership, or all for one one for all and other such 🐮💩.
Then the Big Bosses (as this UAW creep) set up a “convention” for the local, district, etc. levels to attend these conventions as delegates, paid for by union (dues) funds. They get free lodging, free food, wined and dined, listen to hell-fired union speeches, slogans, more brainwashing, etc.
On the last day, the election is held and the President and his Officers are “elected” (selected) by the delegates either by hand count voice vote or secret (yeah right) ballot. The attending delegates are already on their side because almost all opposition has already been eliminated and “ruled” disqualified under some “rule” set up by these cronies. See how that works? Sound familiar?
It’s a shame how this works politically .
The union heads support the Dems ,and the Republicans attack them .
And the workers are caught in the middle.
People have a right to unionize,and it’s proven more often than not , it leads to a better wage .
And yet , sometimes it’s not a good thing when unions are too strong,and workers are grossly overpaid .
Me personally, I haven’t voted for a dem in more than a decade or two .
I ignore the vote dem bull.
But I remember years ago when Republicans were recalled for trying to attack and destroy unions .
It’s a catch 22 .
Upvoted your comment, although I don’t agree at all with this. It’s too hard to prove one thing for certain in the absence of the other.
Sure it happens,but sometimes you can’t cheat enough.
Perfect example, teamsters new boss .
Same on our local level .
People have become pretty interested in recent years .
Why would they want to vote to lose their jobs and their retirements?

Indeed,

It is good to hear Union workers are no longer mind nub robots. O, sorry, I’m wrong, they are the Rush Limbaugh listeners ~ sorry wrong thread.
When it’s down to having a job, putting food on the table for your family, and paying bills or not.
Political ideology loses every time.
Unless one is a demon(crat)-worshipping zombie (who’s getting paid under the table for doing absolutely nothing worthwhile).
Even with wholesale cheating Governir Poopmap has very little chance of winning the top job. Even Desantis managed to humiliate him.
Only Trump can actually win a fair election. The Dems/UniParty just need a decent alternative for the media to prop up for their dumbed down audience.
.
A fair election…

Mooshelle’s name has been tossed in the mix. Yay, another 8 years of Obama the Marxist.
Hopefully, even the run-of-the -mill libtards see this as an act of destruction to Our Country.
Oh, for cripes sake!
Michelle/Michaels name keeps getting MENTIONED but nothing ever happens, cause its bullshyte.
Them that know ain’t talking, and them thats talking don’t know.
Believe Big Mikes hat is in the ring, when he/she actually throws it in, and until then its just bullshyte.
A gay Barack is one thing, big Mike would not want the scrutiny of his gender. He will not run.
yes. interesting report over weekend. looks like sometime around May, Joebama out and Mooshelle announcing
I daresay it would be even worse than Obama the Marxist, because moochie would go even beyond full-tilt racist. And feminist, even though she’s completely clueless to the meaning of that word.
oh boy….. time for EYEWASH
☝️Insert unchristianlike emoji here.
Union leadership endorsing & voting for communist demoncraps will also be voting their paychecks.
There are more of us than them.
Retired construction guy and former local union president here. I can tell you without reservation that the majority of union construction workers haven’t voted for democrats for decades.
Well that is good news.
We are trusting your insight.
Of course it has been voter fraud in every way.
Same here. The suckass “leadership” are always supporting Democrats. However, the majority of the rank and file union members that I encounter vote the exactly the opposite of the “endorsements” of their so called leadership.
I also used to belong to the UMWA in my younger days and watched that union go from one of the most powerful, influential union in the country to nothing today because of power grabbing, corrupt union officials. Want the main names? Richard Trumka and Cecil Roberts.
Ask a coal miner to join the UMWA today and you will probably get ran off……or worse.
the majority of union construction workers haven’t voted for democrats for decades
That’s encouraging
But you’re talking about people who WORK for a living. I see couple of you guys sounding off on construction unions, pipefitters, etc
What about other unions, like the ones for public “workers” and school janitors who shuffle along as slowly as possible until their shift is over?
(forget the name of the union, someone will know it)
Service Employees International Union is what you are looking for, Dennis.
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
The US auto industry is under siege.
To expand on that…the whole country is under seige.
Ford is with the Union on this one and has dumped the EV’s trucks only, going back to gas and hybrid cars.
Toyota CEO said that EVs are basically for just going to the grocery store…and his last name is Toyoda!!!
yeah, I’ve seen that “only short local trips” rubric trotted out a couple times this past week, someone must have sent word out in the 4am Media Matters instructions
the corollary to that is “if you have to make long-distance trips, you should keep a gas-powered car too”
… presuming that everyone can afford to be a two-car family
… While also having to worry that half of the EV (the battery half) will have to be replaced soon after the car note is paid off.
40 years in the painters union. The international level get fat. They have been using a % of our union dues in a PAC. Always for democrats, ALWAYS.
Meanwhile, of all the people I worked with, worked for or worked for me I only know 3 in all those years that were liberal or voted democrat.
It’s a rigged game.
The crux of it, right there. How many individual votes have been and will be neutralized by votes bought through union dues?
University of North Florida announces phase-out of LGBTQ+, Women’s, Interfaith Intercultural Centers

Good! The Florida Legislature has been on the ball the past few years.
“… Prohibited Expenditures… approved by the Florida Board of Governors.” LOVE it.
The elites really do think differently to the rest of us.
A Rasmussen poll this month specifically looked at the opinions of the elite – defined as people with a postgrad degree, earning $150,000 annually, and living in dense cities. That’s about 1 per cent of Americans.
Nearly half of the elite think there is “too much freedom” in America, while only 16 per cent of Americans as a whole think that.
Seventy-seven per cent support rationing of energy and meat (all Americans: 28 per cent).
Well over two thirds would ban gas stoves and petrol cars, and over half would ban non-essential air travel and air conditioning (all Americans: 13 and 25 per cent).
Seventy per cent of the elite trust the government, more than twice as many as ordinary Americans.
And finally, while only 40 per cent of Americans approve of President Biden, 84 per cent of the elite do.
Source: Trump has captured the new conservative zeitgeist (Daily Telegraph)
What was the split of men vs women in that subgroup?
There was no male/female breakdown in this first-of-a-kind poll. I guess female elites would trend towards the extreme end of these results. When she heard the peasants were starving, Marie-Antoinette (bride of France’s King Louis XVI) supposedly sniffed, “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”—“Let them eat cake.”
Most of those “elites” directly or indirectly are receiving federal money taken from our taxes, our labor and/or borrowed in our names.
They profit from inflation, we pay for it.
They work for the government and/or, the institutions that pay them receive massive federal funding and regulatory favor. It is a lavish fascist system of parasites, sucking our life blood.
Less freedom for us means more wealth and government favor for them
Rationing (price control) our energy makes theirs limitless.
Banning cars and air travel leaves the skies, roads and all the destinations open exclusively to them.
Makes sense of the polls, no?
Fat ticks and parasites. Their time is coming and we will pluck them without mercy.
“UAW President Shawn Fain admits he endorsed Joe Biden”
The sad part is, he doesn’t just support him by voting for him and speaking an endorsement. He sends $Tens of millions of hardworking American Union members dues to him and the Democrat/Marxist/Communist party.
The Chamber of Communists and the Union leaders are one in the same.
In 2016 only Sundance, Colkitto, and a few others knew that…today most Americans are tired of both organizations.
One of the first laws that Whitmer repealed, when she got her Democrat majority, was the right to work laws.
Which just gives more money to the Democratic party.
Shawn Fain is – at a minimum – a Marxist “fellow traveller”: https://keywiki.org/Shawn_Fain
So of course he’s endorsed Biden for election (it’s not re-election as Biden wasn’t legitimately elected).
Behind closed doors in Beijing, the Communists are also endorsing Joe Biden for election.
There are very few mentally ill people that are Biden supporters in my Union.
So true about Union Bosses
I had a heated argument about what The Law is with my Union President and it got turned into issues we were not aware of and buried.
It’s all politics 🙄
This individual … the “UAW President” … is such a phony … he’s such a fraud. He stands up pontificating and championing the current dysfunctional occupant of the Oval Office and them comes onboard never-Trumper Cavuto’s show and actually admits the truth …
I was an AFL-CIO member for over 30 years (had to “join” as a condition of employment as a member of the Air Line Pilots’ Association in the industry) … and as a result I learned up-close and personal how clueless, corrupt, and self-serving much (most?) of “Union Leadership” really is … even among pilots.
The “union” experience seems to corrupt and marginalize some decent folks … it changes them and turns them into something unrecognizable.
Compromised out the wazoo……..
💰💰💰💰💰
Idiot. He doesn’t care about his membership…
What does he care? Uses the idiotic laws to force membership and keep getting paid.
It’s a disappearing group these workers and they know it. Sundance called it years ago talking about the backbone of our society. Construction, machinery manufacture, trash collection, firemen, police etc. The list is endless of the ones who make this work.
And what THEY, thee elites failed to grasp is those of us who MAKE things, and maintain things, know how to break things that THEY depend on.
President Trump recently told the UAW worker in Michigan mandated EV production would kill their jobs.
They know.
He also told them to tell Shawn Fein the same thing.
Shawn Fein knows, and yet he endorsed Biden. The UAW has election problems, and the whole leadership needs to be shown the road.
Yes, but many of these workers are stuck there. There aren’t too many jobs that pay over 20+ bucks an hour plus benefits. When you got a bunch of mouths to feed, it becomes difficult to open your mouth to complain.
I belonged to the largest piping union in North America for nearly 4 decades. When Obama, then Biden, shut down the pipelines, and starting attacking all fossil fuels, the leadership was silent. Whenever I would speak to the Business Manager, we would agree almost 90% that Democrats no longer represented our working families, nor the interests of our Nation. Then, at the union meetings, they would parrot the talking points from the AFL-CIO and bash Trump. When I called them out, they just shrugged their shoulders.
MOST of our union voted Republican most of the time, though in this State, then numbers were never represented, so how….
The unions have lost their way.
The boys at the IBEW sure haven’t said much on the issue, either.
Day one ,Biden shut down 2000 union jobs on the pipeline,then screwed over the rail workers .
Actions speak louder than words , but union leaders will ignore it.
So why in the World would they support an idiot?
It is all about the $$$$$$$ , POWER, CONTROL Over US the American Citizens
That makes so much stupid sense to me.
“Biden stood with us on the picket line.” Please. What an idiot. There would not have been a need to picket if Biden were not president.
Covuto most disappointed!
As if that matters. NOBODY HAS FIXED THE 2020 CORRUPTION YET!!!
Hahaha!!! Look at Neil Cavuto’s face! Priceless…
Love the look on Cavoto’s face! I hope it stays that way…
Elon Musk Says the Quiet Part Out Loud…
Chinese EV Manufacturers Will Destroy US Car Industry – Elon Musk
Elon Musk said Chinese electric carmakers will find “significant” success outside of China, even as his auto firm Tesla faces intense competition from these same companies.
“Frankly, I think, if there are not trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other companies in the world,” Musk said.7 hours ago
Isn’t that what President Trump told the Autoworkers Union before they endorsed Biden?
https://www.cnbc.com › 2024/01/25
.
…destroy the EV industry. We need someone to make some purely mechanical vehicles again. Ditch every regulation since at least 1980. Please… Trump. That business would boom.
.
I would have guessed 1985. Any engineer worth knowing could have told you that the EVs were never expected to work. Therefore, the change was done for another reason. High weight, and dangerous batteries work poorly in cold weather, and this is especially true without a major power source for recharging.
I read recently that one such EV manufacture lost 3.5 billion from a fire. Well, wait until they move them into high temperatures.
And the insurance industry has only just begun raising rates as more EV ‘endless’ fires ignite not to mention the ships that have sunk carrying EVs due to the salt in the ocean. The suppression on these incidents is shocking.
New Study on Electric Car Deaths Shocks the Entire Car Industry -YouTube-
[10 min]-
Buy pre 1980 vehicles, but understand they will try to make gasoline so expensive only THEY will be able to afford it and these ICE powered cars will all be lawn ornaments.
Diesel engines. And my lawn ornament will work well on multiple fuels. Got to get one of those EV logos.
Yes, and China is sinking billions into three EV production facilities in Mexico….
Trump kept warning!
I would suggest that potential Mexican workers should be reminded to stay away from these bomb manufacturing plants.

How can Mexico avoid fires? And what about the new junkyards in the U.S. when it comes to battery replacement?
“Sept 25 (Reuters) – Ford Motor (F.N)
said on Monday, it has paused work on a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Michigan, citing concerns about its ability to competitively operate the plant at a time when it remains locked in broader contract negotiations.
United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain blasted Ford, saying the announcement was “a shameful, barely-veiled threat by Ford to cut jobs…. We are simply asking for a just transition to electric vehicles, and Ford is instead doubling down on their race to the bottom.”
Ford has repeatedly raised its offer to the union in contract talks without securing a deal, while the fate of battery plant workers has remained a key issue in negotiations with the Detroit Three.”
The firefighters union says that there is concern an electric car would burn through a deck of a suspension bridge. Tunnels are a concern also
They don’t catch fire. However, I would suggest fireproof underwear.
They have opened up a new line of work for the battery storage.
Experienced Ammo Dump builders needed. Military experience preferred.
SOMEBODY’s thinking …
good to hear
Honestly,
if biden somehow wins again, i will quit working that day, load my tools off the site and thats it, i wont support this BS any more, will give this one last chance, but then Im done giving them about 1/3 of what I make, biggest waste of 25-35k a year ever and wont do it anymore
“A great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden…”
You support Biden.
Then whom are you representing in your union?
You have no mandate to lead a union, if you only represent a tiny minority of your members.
The guy endorses Biden, then says his members love Trump. Soooo, who’s he work for?
Makes me ask, “Where are we going with this relationship?”
If you have to ask, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
☠
Union membership has been in decline for at least 40 years. At a glance representation is half of early 80s level. Free Trade, Immigration and deindustrialization have accomplished what cruder efforts could not. Unions have actively supported their abusers consistently.
Fain, the current boss is standing in kitchen arguing about floral patterns for the window dressing and the roof is on fire.
And yet I was stunned when (before I escaped Califzuela) three decades ago the union bosses there were all for screwing their membership and supporting the illegal alien invasion at the time. Suicidal.
Cognitive Dissonance is not just a river in Egypt …
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Confirming what PDJT said, weeks ago.
Count on FOX to keep the company turd Cavuto around to spout the party line. I quit FOX about two years ago when I heard the other snarky little twerp, Greg Gutfield, screaming that the Covid vaccines were safe and anybody who said different was a liar…..
As far as American war aggression is concerned, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and FOX’s Sean Hannity could pass for brother/sister and/or brother/brother. Both sound like twins in their support for these continual wars of aggression. It’s sick.
Americans need to get off their collective asses and stop watching corporate news broadcast. There are many other good sources of the truth. Certainly CTH is at the top of that list. Check out Larry Johnson at sonar21.com for another. There are so many more! If you can afford a subscription try TUCKER CARLSON NETWORK. It’s also very good. Give the corporate bastards the boot…..
The influence of the UAW has given a lot of American families a good livelihood. Joe Biden has destroyed our livelihoods. His policies destroy wealth for working class families from higher cost fuel bringing on crippling inflation. These auto workers know the score.
The UAW is responsible for the rise and now fall of many of the wages being paid, in many other industries.
The two tiered wage system in place at many union plants, has greatly been a factor in the current low wages being paid, in society, today. The illegal aliens don’t help either.
True dat .
But ,there any many dumb union workers 🤔
He better lock his doors…
The AFSCME unions are even worse than the UAW.
All of those vote Democratic by huge margins.
Union bosses are like Pentagon generals. They know full well where their new “job” will come from when they retire from this one. So they pretend to be tough on oversight and protective of their recruits. Not often enough, their recruits catch on to the game and know smoke is getting blowed up their a$$.

While I greatly appreciate the Republican National Committee (RNC) wanting to make me their PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE, and while they have far more votes than necessary to do it, I feel, for the sake of PARTY UNITY, that they should NOT go forward with this plan, but that I should do it the “Old Fashioned” way, and finish the process off AT THE BALLOT BOX.

No thanks 😂😂😂
My crew were shifting log rafts along side a log ship back in the 90’s with our harbor tug when the Longshore walking boss started making fun of our boat. It was early in the a.m. and I’m not morning person 😒. I told him ( in front of his peers) that if he kept it up I was going to toss him overboard! Never had another problem with him after that..
I could share lots of stories about how things get done.
The Longshore union is probably the most powerful union in the country. They have the power to shut down the east and west coast ports and destroy the economy.
They only have that power because Democrats gave it to them. With port automation many longshore jobs are handled by robots, self-driving trucks and robotic cranes.
And this putz thereby admits that his members “paychecks” is not his concern…
Why would the union endorse a President that has harmed the vast majority of the workers they represent? After they elect Trump, I hope the workers fire Fain.
All of these elites seem certain, or at least resigned to the possibility, that Trump will win. Of course they don’t want that because of his policies, but what is the insurance policy when he gets in? These people have a plan for everything.
