Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports Social Security, saving Workers’ pensions and passing the Protect the Right to Organize (PRO) Act were top topics as the Teamsters - led by reform President Sean O’Brien and Rank-and-File Members - interviewed Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden in D.C. this week.  The hour-long session held at Teamsters Headquarters at the foot of Capitol Hill occurred just before Biden swept the Mississippi primary, clinching his nomination for a second White House term.  The Teamsters endorsement is important and not just because the Union has 1.3 million Members.  Though it has 360 Locals nationwide, its heaviest concentrations are in Midwestern swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota Iowa, and Ohio.  A veteran Teamster told People’s World the Union’s recent interview with Republican Presidential Candidate Trump was done “to appease Trump supporters by giving him the opportunity” for an interview and a Q&A period with Members.  “There’s nothing for them at the other end” from Trump, the veteran said. “I can’t see them going to the dark side.”
