The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is declining to endorse a candidate for president, a blow to both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as they seek to court union workers.
“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement Wednesday.
