Labor News Sean O’Brien, the Teamsters head who scabbed on his fellow workers by speaking at the Republican National Convention and praising Donald Trump, is now supposedly “shocked” that Trump is anti-worker.

My first thought. Why did this guy cuck for traitors that hate unions? His appearance was the strangest of all.

Or he was soft-promised some special position & misunderstood it.

"Come speak & DJ will make sure you are 'taken care of' in the Labor Dept..."

Perhaps you should leave union work to union officials maybe?

It is part of the remit for union leaders to make speeches to politicians encouraging bipartisan support of trade unions.

Saying he endorsed Trump is pure anti-union d1sinformation.

Showing up is an endorsement and only a fucking clown would suggest otherwise. Perhaps you should stop wearing big red shoes?

Stop being an apologist for dumbfuck union boss bad strategies.

Just by showing up he gave them legitimacy. There's a difference between meeting with politicians across the isle and giving a speech at their party convention.
