Please note that Teamsters Joint Councils 7 & 42 (West Coast) and 32 (Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin) have endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Also the Iron Workers Union have endorsed Harris/Walz as well!
CellyBlue (I do know this!): Impressive, very impressive research and background for a compelling story.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Kamala Harris brings joy and prosecutorial skills and gifts to craft a strategy of smart, hard work towards victory.
"James Curbeam, the national chairman of the Teamsters National Black Caucus, wrote in a blistering letter to Teamsters members after Mr. O’Brien announced a meeting with Mr. Trump earlier this year. * * *"
James Hoffa worked hard to clean up the Teamsters only to have O'Brien go back to the old playbook from Hoffa Sr. and Fitsimmons. Watch your backs, Teamsters. Your national leadership can't be trusted with your interests.
Sean M. O’Brien’s speech at the Republican convention was for all intents and purposes an endorsement of Trump albeit not an official one. Luckily many local Teamster Joint Councils are breaking away from national and endorsing Harris.

That Sean O’Brien is a crook
The teamsters have a long history of corruption and mafia influence. I’m sure the mob prefers the criminal over a prosecutor.
Just like the old days! (Fitzsimmons, Hoffa Sr.)
Sad, indeed. Racism and sexism all at once.
Hmmm. They don’t like women? 😉

Your reporting shows Mr. O'Brien, who boasts being a Fourth Generation Teamster, to be an outlier among union leaders.
Perhaps Mr. O'Brien has political ambitions in the event of a new Trump administration.
The GOP has for forty years torn down labor unions, and Trump is anti-union on steroids.
Your post is a keeper for a bookmark for careful research and detailed reporting relating to policy related to union rights and benefits.
James Hoffa worked hard to clean up the Teamsters only to have O'Brien go back to the old playbook from Hoffa Sr. and Fitsimmons. Watch your backs, Teamsters. Your national leadership can't be trusted with your interests.
And America continues to stupid itself towards extinction.
Sad. Looks like unions with guns back Trump)…
