Look, if we just meet Republicans halfway on everything and accept their framing of every issue, they'll certainly engage in good faith debate and work with us to find a path forward that's best for all Americans, right?

What a fucking disappointment he became. Would love to know who is paying him off.

Do the Teamsters not have a mechanism to fire this guy, or is he truly representing their members? If it's the latter, it's no wonder why labor has been struggling for decades.

Head of the Teamsters? Wonder if Hoffa is supportive?

Union solidarity is an oxymoron according to the Teamsters.

This is how union bosses talk now? Jimmy Hoffa would never.

Teamsters are shit. They should be shunned by any other Union

O'Brien has always been in big money's pocket.

Guess we can say goodbye to organizing with teamsters when it comes time for a general strike. WTF is happening?!

We’ve done a very poor job for the past 30 years explaining that executive branch employees are dedicated, proud of being nonpartisan, understaffed and underpaid. Instead we’ve gone along listening to them being demonized and didn’t push back, thinking there were no consequences. Now this.
