“When President Trump invited me to speak at this convention, there was political unrest. On the left and on the right. (It’s) hard to believe. Anti-union groups demanded that Trump rescind the invitation. The left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it’s so important for me to be here today. Think about this: The Teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes of both parties think I shouldn’t be on this stage.”
Sean O’Brien, Teamsters President @ RNC
Literally doing the meme of “I know I’m right if everyone hates me”.
If a billionaire businessman who’s famous for cheating workers asks your union to give a speech at his event, he is making fun of you.
and yet even some people here were defending Sean Fain not too long ago… you just can’t win… people want to believe in these small hopes that not everything is crooked and fucked… but it is
uaw is different than teamsters. the UAW strike strategy was bad ass. that guy is cool.
Right, like I’m sure he’s lib in many ways but I’ve yet to really see anything too bad out of him yet
Sean Fain came out against the genocide in Gaza and now the government is putting all kinds of pressure on him and the union though. So he’s at least taken a stand that others have not.
What happened with Sean Fain?
Assume y’all mean Shawn Fain - no pedantry intended, I just 100% read the comment as Sinn Féin and wondered what shit they did lmao
You’re correct, I didn’t remember how it was spelled and was just using the same spelling as the commenter I replied to haha
Literally endorsed biden, which should’ve gathered much more outrage than just speaking at a convention
Exactly. Why would he even think about speaking to the DNC?
bipartisan coalition ready to accomplish something real for the american worker
bipartisan coalitions exist to do the exact opposite
Literally doing the meme of “I know I’m right if everyone hates me”.
he stole biden’s electoral strategy, that’s fucked up
Class traitor. The Republicans offer nothing!
Well to be fair, neither do the Democrats
Yeah that would also be cringe. But at least there’s something resembling precedent there. This is just unconscionable
sean o’brien going on the rnc stage to perform fellatio on the most bought and paid kochhead john bircherites the right fascists have to offer is the most deeply embarrassing thing to happen to amerikkkan labor unions in quite some time
American unions aren’t real
Their primary purpose is insurance/retirement funds so literally yes they’re not real unions

The DNC isn’t exaxtly pro-Union, but how ignorant do you have to be to try to work with the GOP?
Man, that graphic design is all over the place.

It was pretty wild last summer to see basically everyone on the left except a few trotskyists support the Teamster-UPS contract. Hopefully this wakes some people up to how feckless American labor unions are.
If I were optimistic I’d say this could be him trying to pressure the democrats for more concessions but I know how pathetic unions can be here.
