You're wrong! 31 years a Teamster, and I have never seen as many Teamsters voting Red and in love with Trump on the barn floor. I'm not saying that's right, but the Democrats have abandoned working America in lew of support for non working America. The need to find true support for working class America is real.

Cost of living under Trump was much lower than now and that is due to much lower energy costs due to having more oil and drilling our own oil. Raise the price of oil, then gas and you raise the cost of living. Think this stuff you eat and use just pops up magically at store, etc? No, it's truck drivers. Cost of gas/diesel goes up. The cost of everything then goes up. Do the simple 2nd grade math. That's ok, neither of you in this comment section were ever union anyways.

They are trying to tax us more with more regulations and we are losing jobs to immigrants. Yellow closed, Trump helped trying to keep the Company alive. Trump seems a better option for me not Harris. Idc if I’m union or not I am teamsters and did owner operator and let me tell you. Immigrants ARE taking the work for cheap. If this doesn’t stop, work will be taken cheap by the immigrants and even union jobs will slow and what will be left? Look at the middle eastern taking all the work, how or why? Most likely they are taking it for super cheap rates and the trucking industry especially unions labor will disappear. Harris does not seems to be the best option at the moment. You try to open up a business for your kids in the future and with Harris that won’t happen. Look at that reality not just because you were a teamster. Look at the future, what will you offer your kids? If you have plans to open a business with them, it is hard, talking with real 💯 percent experience.

It got SO quiet, I could hear audible gasps from the 'corporate' elites during Sean's speech. Audience jaws literally dropped. The "perception was the reality" by the time that speech was over. Trump just looked confused by the time Sean finished (especially since he had served him a nice dinner at Mar-a-lago. In Sean's defence, "Papa's gotta eat!") Sean left those Republican Fat Cats in his dust. He did NOT endorse either Donald (apart from calling him a tough SOB re: Butler, PA) or the GOP but rather that speech put them On Notice. I took it as the BEST non-partisan speech I've heard in recent memory & it was so IRONIC in who it was being aimed at. *It was obvious that Sean was 'courted' to speak to the working man/woman in Trump's base & these folks now need to be educated at the teamster (& other unions) level and by the Democrats as to how Trump & Co. is NOT going to support or strengthen unions. DO NOT FAIL TO EDUCATE!!! as to the Real World Consequences of a Trump Dictatorship. *HOPEFULLY, Sean will reprise this performance at the Democratic National Convention & get in on that Blue Tsunami! Everyone does better when Unions are strong & respected! Unions represent the working classes from the bottom & middle out (as Biden wants/ed to be working toward)

My husband and I drove for Werner Enterprises for 23 years. We were hazmat endorsed and had a secret clearance hauling government and other security loads. Every one of the security loads required unmarked armed cars to travel in our vacinity. We both retired as two million mile accident free drivers each. I got to live my childhood dream in far greater ways than I ever imagined. The reason why I'm telling you all of this is because - we received notice over the truck computer they were giving a raise!!!! Then later on we found out it was for everyone under the million mile accident free driver list. The one, two, three, four and the one five million miler weren't included in the raise. The point of the story is that we had NOBODY TO GO TO. We didn't drive for a Union Trucking Company. We asked for a load that was closest to our home, rented a car on the way in, quit and retired.

I'm a Teamster shop steward. Sure Sean O'Brien started his speech off a little complimentary of Trump and gave a little credit to bipartisanship, but it quickly gave whiplash to the RNC. I feel that his speech was pointed to all of the people out in TV land watching that joke of a convention, not to the corporations sitting there in the audience. I think O'Brien's message was to the masses really telling them not to trust the Republicans because they don't care about you, they only care about the rich corporate elites. O'Brien was offered a slot to speak and he took it and in doing so he opened a big ole can of whoop-ass and bitch slapped the RNC 6 ways to Sunday. I'm glad that he told the people what they needed to hear which was the fact that the Republicans do not support the working class.

I watched his speech, and thought it was a tricky threading of a needle. Outside of a slathering of praise for Trump that may have been just to put a foot in the door, O’Brien did not endorse Trump. He was allowed to say things no one else on that stage could or would say. The cognitive dissonance in the room was palpable! He should also speak at the DNC convention as well.

I’m not fortunate enough to have a union job, but I grew up in a union household. My father built track all of his life. He was a proud BMWE member and later a Teamster, of course. He was also a very proud Democrat in a very red state. I am also a lifelong Democrat. I have been wondering what my dad would have thought about O’Brien speaking at the RNC-before he died he told me I could be anything I ever want to be, except a Republican. Obviously, I can’t speak for him, but overall, O’Brien will show us in the next few months if he did the right thing. I do understand the criticisms of this choice, and I do have concerns about the optics. The Republican Party has never been for the working man, and ostensibly will never be. The frustrating thing about having so many Red-voting union members is that I think they are distracted with many social issues that won’t actually ever impact them and overlook what strong union support in the Democratic Party actually can give them-security for themselves and their families in the way of good wages, safe working conditions, good benefits, good insurance, good retirement, etc. My mother is able to have a comfortable retirement after my dad died specifically because of these things. Voting red on social issues would have left her much worse off. Gay marriage is never going to affect you, but having quality health insurance for your sick kid will indeed. What I hope Sean’s intentions, and the eventual effect of his speech at the RNC is to do a couple things. First, there are a lot of working men and women wearing red hats out there that deserve the life that unions can help them achieve. It doesn’t matter how much I disagree with them on other issues. Everyone should make a good living for them and theirs. I hope Sean at least put some ideas in RNC heads as to what unions can offer. Second, the Democrats are the party of the workers and are the only ones who are actually going to fight for us. But they aren’t doing enough. They need some fear and insecurity about the union/worker voting bloc. They shouldn’t take us for granted. Josh Hawley, for example, is never going to actually be an advocate for unions in any meaningful way, but if he his a couple small things to put in his ads, the Democratic challenger will have to step up his or her game to hopefully bring in working folks of all stripes into the fight for change that will actually improve their lives. As I said, I’m not a Teamster; it is up to you to decide if O’Brien is looking out for you, and you should hold your leader to account for ensuring he or she is busting their ass to look out for you. You don’t owe him or any other leader allegiance. The same with politicians and parties. In my estimation, as of now the Democrats are the ones who have and will look out for all of us, but they need to know that we don’t belong to their party-we are the party. As Sean said in his speech, we are not renters.

I'd have more hope if he'd spoken less about the 3 republicans who paid empty lip-service to unions and more about the entirety of the party who vote no, across the board, on every single pro-worker piece of legislature. He didn't and with that omission he furthered the lie that allows Republicans to pretend they are pro-worker. Even worse, he called out the "elites", the exact same terms the Republicans use when dishonestly framing Democrats as the "elites in Washington ignoring the working man". I really hope he just doesn't realize. But growing up in the midwest, in a family full of Republican working class people who constantly vote against their own interests, my heart sank. This is why they do it. And people like him are why they will continue to do it in the future.

I’m a Teamster in Colorado and most of my brothers and sisters I’ve spoken to were happy that Sean addressed the RNC. This is a huge milestone. And for him to slam corporations and be as blunt as he was; that was a win in my opinion. Yeah those people are corporate people in that room, perfect time while everyone’s gathered to expose the truth and to hopefully encourage the Republican side to cooperate and vice versa. My whole family is/was union, I know plenty along with co-workers that voted Trump in 2016 & 2020 and I know even more Teamsters voting Trump this year. To each their own. But there are a lot of MAGA people within the Union. Also at the end of the day, regardless of which person is elected Biden or Trump (worked under both along with 2 different union contracts) I’m still working 12-14hrs a day with the expectation of returning to work after 10hrs of mandated “off” time. The company DOES hide behind language manipulation (taking contractual language and twisting it to benefit themselves), forced to help people finish their work before I go home because this company believes service comes before family. It always has and always will. But yet fairness on both sides? Remember when he said we aren’t tenants or renters? Well I can’t buy time from a vending machine, but yet this corporate company can treat me like a mechanical robot created in a factory, and that’s a crime. Work/life balance is worse now than before. It doesn’t matter who is president, I’m fortunate and blessed I don’t have children, because I’d be paying someone else to raise them (present day). I want to say I am grateful and blessed for what I have worked for. I do have great benefits and a solid retirement. But I do feel like sometimes I damn near sold my soul to the devil.
