Thu Sep 19 16:07:00 UTC 2024: ## Teamsters Union Stays Neutral in Presidential Race
**Tucson, AZ** – The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the nation’s largest union, has announced it will not endorse a candidate for president in the upcoming election. The decision, made by the union’s General Executive Board on Wednesday, comes after both major party candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, sought the group’s support.
The Teamsters cited a division among its members and a lack of concrete commitments from both candidates on labor issues as the reasons for their neutrality. The union has historically been a strong force in labor politics, often endorsing candidates who support worker rights. However, the current political landscape and the lack of clear stances on labor issues from the presidential candidates have led the union to take a different approach this election cycle.
