Kamala Harris told Teamsters president she'd win "with you or without you"

It’s bullshit on it’s face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop.

So the guy is just lying about that, of course there’s no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster’s face.

Excuse my ignorance on American doublespeak, but does the “right to work” just mean the “right for companies to employ scabs”?

They named it that so it would get confused with similarly named laws that protect the rights of workers.

right to work laws “protect” workers from unions forcing them to pay dues so: yes.

If a truthful name were required, it’d be “right to free ride” or “right to scab.”

We could have gotten Right-To-Work off the books?

Well, nah. 'cause congress would have to pass it before the prez could sign it.
