~~Considering how aggressive unions can be, I imagine the UAW leadership isn't happy with the Teamsters union for the RNC bullshit. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of shit-flinging going on behind the scenes. It wouldn't be the first time that unions have gone at each other's throats.~~

~~I hope they don't start fighting though. While union support may be increasing, there's still a risk that negative press could slow or halt unionization efforts.~~

Edit: some other users have suggested that they may be playing political games to get the Dems to give them the support they're looking for; which makes waaaay more sense than the Teamsters president actually supporting Trump.
