But a number of union locals and the Teamsters National Black Caucus endorsed Harris before the union's announcement Wednesday, and the California Teamsters Public Affairs Council announced its support for the vice president shortly afterwards.
"The 250,000 who work across California are fundamental to the American economy, not only producing and transporting goods, but also providing essential services throughout the private and public sectors," said Joint Council 42 president Chris Griswold. "They deserve an administration that will put working people first."
Harris has won endorsements from the United Auto Workers, the Communications Workers of America, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, and other key unions.
The fucker that campaigned for trump at the RNC is the head of the Teamsters? Fuck me. That’s insane.

Classic "fuck you, I got mine" attitude from that guy.
