Teamsters union president Sean O’Brien talks with President Joe Biden, at the White House in Washington on April 4, 2022. MILWAUKEE — Teamsters President Sean O’Brien closed out the first night of the Republican National Convention with a pro-worker and anti-corporation message not common at major GOP gatherings.
But Mr. O’Brien said he decided to speak at the convention at the personal invitation of presidential nominee Donald Trump because he refuses “to keep doing the same things my predecessors did.” The decision to have Mr. O’Brien not only speak but close out a long day was part of Monday’s theme of “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” with a focus on how Mr. Trump has a vision to strengthen the country’s economy.
The former president announced the invitation on his Truth Social account in June as he searched for an endorsement by the union, with which he had dealt frequently in his decades as a real-estate mogul in New York.But he noted that his speaking to the RNC had been denounced by both right-to-work groups on the right and Democratic-leading union leaders, whom he said have been calling him a “traitor.
John Palmer, vice president at-large at Teamsters, called on Mr. O’Brien to cancel his visit to the RNC in an opinion piece published last week in New Politics.
