The Democratic National Convention snubbed Teamsters President Sean O'Brien's request to address the audience in Chicago this week, the labor union told the media.
CHICAGO – The Democratic National Convention reportedly snubbed Teamsters President Sean O'Brien's request to speak during the convention, just weeks after his historic address before the Republican National Convention. 'We have not received a response to our request to speak,' the Teamsters told the National Desk on Monday of O'Brien's previous request to address the audience in Chicago.
Teamster Vice President At-Large John Palmer, a member of the union since 1987, lambasted O’Brien’s decision last month, calling it 'unconscionable for any Labor leader to lend an air of legitimacy to a candidate and a political party, neither of which can be said to have done or can be expected to do anything to improve the lives of the workers we are pledged to represent.
