This is the stupidest fucking thing a union could do because it's going to cause internal conflict and deter people from wanting to work with teamsters. It could even deter people from joining it.
I wouldn't want to join a union if I knew 60% of the membership were fucking tories.

The end of that basically says "Harris is better but we're afraid of upsetting our members so no endorsement".
I totally agree. This seems like an "uh, oh, we fucked up. How do we reverse this?" kind of decision after posting their polling results on Twitter.
Really shouldn't have posted results, or polled at all. That information is only likely to make workers less likely to join, whether it leans one way or another it's likely to make the other side less likely to join. I would not join a union that is full of tories, full stop, I know most well-meaning libs that support labour wouldn't either. But I also know that tories wouldn't join a union if they knew it was like all lefties or whatever.
It's just not a good way to organise. It's publishing information that you know will cause division.
