A Teamster posted images of a fund raising letter they received from President Sean O’Brien on r/Union (warning: reddit link).

In the letter, Sean O’Brien claims that Trump is creating a new ‘Worker First’ republican party, and implores the reader to donate as much as they can to the Teamster ‘TEAM Fund’, which will be used to:

  1. Support Trump’s ‘Pro-Worker’ initiatives, like ‘strategic’ tariffs
  2. Financially back incumbent ‘pro-worker’ republican candidates for the House and Senate
  3. Identify pro-labor legislatures in key states and support their campaigns

Sean then introduces the next part of the letter; a message from Josh Hawley, a Christian Nationalist and Trump loyalist state senator who fist pumped the Jan 6th rioters in support.

In the letter Hawley claims Trump has eliminated the “country club elites and business tycoons” from the republican party, as well as ending the “Woke DEI agenda”.

If there was ever any doubt about O’Brien, he’s certainly showing his true colors now, bending the knee to the fascists in power and even going so far as to fund raise for them.

    At this point I’m starting to wonder if they have something on him. Of course, it could just be garden-variety corruption.

      Flight logs to Epstein pedo-Island contains a wide variety of actual, now living, human creatures. Raping children is not a foreign concept for conservatives.

      Maybe. Just the same, not every union is a well run union. There’s been bad ones over the years, but more good ones, I think.

        Painters and Allied Trades was completely run over by leadership in Denver 25-35 years ago. I think they are all out of prison now
