55% : The union conducted polling before Mr. Biden exited the presidential race, and found a plurality of its members backed him over Trump, 44% to 36%.
50% : The union said neither candidate pledged to avoid government intervention in railroad or airline strikes.
46% : But in a subsequent poll of Harris and Trump, the former president won far more support, 60% to 34%, and in a second poll that concluded on Sept. 15, members again chose Trump by a large margin, 58% to 31%.
45% : "I work with a lot of Republicans... and I'm getting a lot of positive push for Trump," said Brett Ohnstad, a Teamsters member and corrections officer in Minnesota.
29% : The Teamsters noted that Harris did pledge to sign the PRO Act, which would strengthen the right to unionize, and Trump would not commit to vetoing "right to work" legislation in a second term.
19% : The United Auto Workers filed federal labor charges against Musk and Trump, accusing them of trying to "intimidate and threaten" workers.
