Teamsters Union Decides Against Presidential Endorsement

High school football teams in Chaves County and Artesia are gearing up for district action, with key matchups this week. The Goddard Rockets, after securing their first win, will face the undefeated Lovington Wildcats, while the Roswell Coyotes hope to rebound after a previous weather-related game cancellation. In union news, the Teamsters International Board decided against endorsing any presidential candidate, prompting mixed reactions among regional leaders, many of whom support Kamala Harris. This internal division reflects broader tensions within the union, as some rank-and-file members express dissatisfaction with leadership. Additionally, Mohamed Alshami is challenging long-time Teamsters Local 237 president Gregory Floyd, citing a lack of responsiveness to member grievances. Floyd counters these claims, asserting his commitment to the union's success and dismissing Alshami's criticisms as unfounded.
