“If the Painters ever find themselves in a fight, you’ll have the full power of the Teamsters Union standing behind you.” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien helped the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) kick off its convention on Monday in Florida, thanking the Painters for being one of the first unions to throw its support behind 340,000 UPS Teamsters during our historic contract fight in 2023. O’Brien thanked IUPAT General President Jimmy Williams and all delegates for their brotherhood and solidarity in the labor movement, with the convention aptly themed, “One Union, One Family, One Fight.” The Teamsters General President also encouraged all Painters to work collaboratively with rank-and-file Teamsters to help take on the world’s greediest employer, Amazon. Like most building trades unions, the Painters help build Amazon facilities. “If Amazon is fine with union labor to build its facilities, they should have no problem having a union for their warehouse workers and delivery drivers,” O’Brien said. “Corporate America is our common enemy. Jeff Bezos and Amazon are some of the biggest, most lethal threats facing American workers today. But together, we can and we will force them to respect the men and women who make their success possible.” IUPAT represents more than 140,000 hardworking members in North America.

We’re we’re they when they let my old company outsource trucking
THATS WHAT ITS ABOUT A INJURY TO ONE UNION IS A INJURY TO ALL
I love “One Union, One Family, One Fight.” Yes!
As a retired Teamster, my family and I support the IBT efforts at Scamazon (Amazon), and therefore plan to join the 60% IBT rank and file to vote for Donald Trump for President this November!
Every union is in a fight!
Am in 👌👌 in solidarity
Solidarity wins every fight 👏🏽

1moThis solidarity talk is terrific and correct. My question is where was O’Brien’s solidarity to his own members while he was hanging out with trump?
