    Teamsters Union president to speak at GOP Convention
    Sean O'Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, speaks to UPS Teamsters during a picket ahead of a possible strike, outside of a UPS Distribution Center in Brooklyn, New York, in July 2023.

    The president of the Teamsters Union, Sean O’Brien, is set to speak at the upcoming Republican National Convention as President Trump aims to gain support from blue-collar workers in key swing states. O’Brien accepted Trump’s invitation to speak, marking the first time a Teamsters president will address the GOP event.

    While O’Brien requested a speaking slot at both major party conventions, he chose to speak at the RNC. This move comes as Trump seeks to attract Democratic-leaning union members to his side for the upcoming election.

    Trump’s efforts to woo union support have intensified, with a focus on attracting workers who traditionally vote Democrat. The Teamsters, representing 1.3 million workers, play a pivotal role in endorsing candidates, with O’Brien emphasizing the union’s openness to endorsements this election cycle.
