I first became aware of Teamsters for a Democratic Union in 1986 and have followed and supported their work ever since. #tdu #teamsters

"If you’re a labor leader who backed Trump like the (extremely defenestratable) Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien, you’re gonna have to fight it out with the Trump coalition members who would like to ban unions, shutter the NLRB, and eliminate labor law altogether."

You think O'Brien doesn't know that? That's probably why the Teamsters' PAC still donates more to Dems than GOP;

Kroger is shuttering stores temporarily to pressure union to concede. Their offer is below the poverty levels set by the state! Their CEO took $15.4M home last year (450 times their average employee) and the company announced 7.5B in stock buybacks!! But now they cry poor, and want to stiff the workers.
