On Monday, July 15, on Day 1 of the Republican National Convention, Sean O'Brien, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, became the first Teamsters president ever to address the RNC. Invited by former president Trump, who is now officially the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election, O'Brien's speech was no ordinary RNC filler. And to anyone watching, or anyone paying attention to the political reality in this country, this was no ordinary RNC either. O'brien's very presence on the RNC stage, and the contents of his speech, which lasted for 17 minutes, have sparked a firestorm of intense reactions and furious debates within the labor movement and the Republican and Democratic parties alike. Everyone is talking about this speech and what it all means for workers, but workers themselves need to be driving that conversation. In this special episode of Working People, cohosted by TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and TRNN Staff Reporter Mel Buer, we bring together a diverse panel of Teamster members from across the country to have a spirited, fair, and productive discussion about O'Brien's speech, the 2024 elections, and the future of the labor movement.Speakers include: Amber Mathwig, a UPS warehouse worker and member of Teamsters Local 638 in Minnesota; Tony, a UPS worker, member of Teamsters Local 174 in Seattle, and a member of Teamsters Mobilize; Chantelle, a part-time UPS worker and member of Teamsters Local 177 in New Jersey; Rick Smith, a 35-year Teamster working in the freight industry and host of The Rick Smith Show; Zoey Moretti Niebuhr, a UPS worker, third-generation Teamster, member of Teamsters Local 391 in North Carolina, and president of Pride at Work—North Carolina; Jess Leigh, a UPS worker, shop steward for Teamsters Local 728 in Atlanta, and a member of the Teamsters LBGTQ Caucus and Teamsters Mobilize; Kat, a part-time UPS worker and shop steward for Teamsters Local 70 in Oakland; and Robert Conklin, a third-generation Teamster and member of Teamsters Local 665 in San Francisco.Additional links/info below…PBS NewsHour, "WATCH: Teamsters President Sean O'Brien speaks at Republican National Convention | 2024 RNC Night 1"Sean O'Brien post on X about Sen.

Darren discussed these topics:Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.The alleged shooter was a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania who supported right wing politics. Secret Service hasn't described a motive for the shooting, but there's one possibility nobody is talking about that appears on the shooter's social media.Since the shooting, there have been calls to "lower the temperature" on both sides. Nobody has said who raised the temperature in the first place (the right).No matter what anyone says, the extreme left and the extreme right are NOT the same.Teamsters President Sean O'Brien gave a speech at the Republican National Convention. It's received pushback from rank and file Teamsters and members of the executive board.Rick Smith, the host of The Rick Smith Show and Labor History in 2:00, announced that because of his criticism of O'Brien that his show has lost the Teamsters as a sponsor of 19 years.A new poll shows that nearly 2/3rds of Democrats want President Joe Biden to withdraw from the Presidential race.Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) told colleagues that he would resign from the Senate after being found guilty of several charges including bribery.A judge has thrown out Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case.And Special Counsel Jack Smith has appealed Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling that the Trump classified documents case be thrown out.Hammer Time: Jack Black basically threw his Tenacious D partner Kyle Gass under the bus after Gass made a joke about the assassination attempt on Trump.
