Teamsters should get rid of their leader for his stupidity!!…. Maybe it was his personal preference to support Trump!? Certainly not for Trumps treatment of workers in the past…

[kiwidreams]

Vote for a person that can make a McFlurry not one that can fire a union worker.

How can you trust Teamsters when it's leader talk in Trumps Republicans Convention!

[alexanderkarius]

No idea why the teamster president spoke at the RNC, Trump isn't pro union he supports right to work.

[margaretramaker]

Trump has been a union buster for years and I can't believe teamsters even thought to back him. My husband is a teamster.

[SoberOKMoments]

The Teamsters need a new leader in their organization - and at the head of the government. Vote Blue.

Harris doesn't need to do interviews. Trump is doing more to get Harris elected in his own personal interviews.

He didn’t slam Trump!! O’Brien got played!!😂

[samwho]

Hey O'Brian, get on TV and call out the two crazies: Trump and Musk if you care about the right to strike if you have a spine. Don't just tell a news reporter.

[ernestclary]

Don’t teamsters remember Reagan and his union busting outsourcing destruction of America?

[adamthomas]

Elon Musk is looking more like KIM Jong Un every day.

[sharonharris]

Why tf would any union worker support Dump? Just pitiful

[billbrittan]

Obrien and teamsters do not be deceived...Trump actions toward unions as president speak as loudly as his words against unions today

[stevepatrick]

vote blue over the board you know it makes sense

[Royalle_with_Cheese]

Trump for big business and for helping them dismantle unions.

[LoCoLorHay]

Hard to figure out why labor puts all their trust in a fraudster who inherited his fortune? Who only PLAYED a businessman on television. Who never pays his own labor, and is a bankruptcy king.

[racerx]

Yall need to get rid of Sean O’Brien…he soldout ALL of u. He’s making a mockery of Teamsters. 💯

[lsmcquill]

In other news, all the hens are voting for the fox to guard the hen house!

I am glad Shawn Fain is a better union president than teamster union president Sean O'Brein.
Sean O'Brein needs to step down for leading the union and openly supporting Trump.
O'Brein is a scab
