Teamsters Choose Hillary

Hillary Clinton cemented her union support Friday, picking up a major endorsement from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

The Teamsters unanimously voted to endorse Clinton in a blow to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has campaigned for the union vote.

“We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States,” Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa said in a statement. “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country.”

“The Oval Office needs to be occupied by a serious candidate who understands what it means to govern responsibly,” Hoffa added.

“Donald Trump supports national right-to-work laws that are proven to weaken the middle class and has a long track record of shipping jobs out of the country as a businessman. He is no friend to working Americans.”
