Teamsters President Sean O’Brien Says Union Is “Not Beholden To Anyone Or Any Party” In Historic RNC Speech
Teamsters President Sean O'Brien said the union is "not beholden to anyone or any party" in his RNC speech
“I don’t care about getting criticized,” he insisted, somewhat acknowledging the union’s long track record of Democratic support and the blow back he had already received for accepting the RNC’s invitation. “The Teamsters and the GOP may not agree on many issues, but a growing group has shown the courage to sit down and consider points of view that aren’t funded by big money think tanks,” he continued, vowing to “create an agenda and work with a bipartisan coalition ready to accomplish something real for the American worker.” Democrats are sure to take note of O’Brien’s speech at the RNC, which comes after the Teamsters donated to the Republican National Committee for the first time in decades earlier this year.
