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.

    What’s with these top union people being so blatantly stupid, näive and gullible? The conservatives of pretty much every western country are liars, all of them. How stupid do you have to be to believe the word of people who lie so much it’s basically their brand at this point.

      I don’t see that at all. He knows exactly what he’s doing: Selling out the union for his own gain. It’s not incompetence – it’s greed
