Teamsters Union President Targets Amazon - Sean O’Brien | PBD Podcast | 665
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien Confronts PBD on Corporate Greed, Political Bipartisanship, and the Gig Economy
Discover how the Teamsters organization is proactively redefining its political footprint while relentlessly fighting wage theft and corporate control, even amid polarizing national politics.
Short Summary
- Organize 90,000 new members in three years by targeting corporate greed overlooked by mainstream politics.
- Maintain operational neutrality, speaking at the RNC after the DNC failed to provide an invitation.
- Demand W2 employment status for gig workers like Uber and Lyft drivers, viewing the 1099 classification as a scam.
- The viral confrontation with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen ultimately fostered a bipartisan working relationship toward new labor legislation.
This discussion centers on Sean O’Brien, the youngest Teamsters President, detailing the union's resurgence fuelled by worker dissatisfaction with corporate outcomes post-pandemic. Readers gain insight into the union's modern, pragmatic political strategy, moving beyond traditional party lines to advocate for American workers against entities like Amazon. O'Brien also contrasts traditional W2 employment benefits (pensions, stability) with the precarious nature of 1099 contracting.

He said union is more productive 😂😂 tell that to the 10 city workers watching the new guy dig the hole.
Union's are not what they used to be. Now it's greed and corruption. I was a local union president, and union we were in didn't care about their members.
PBD you are great with interviews where I am certain you disagree. Your openness is what makes your podcast great!!
Youtube slinging up a Amazon advert at the beginning of this podcast is hilarious.
Every Union stold the Peoples Pension. Every one!! My wife's grandfather got $2500 a month pension in 78 and couldn't do anything him and another 2800 people. The union dismantle and the Money disappeared 😮 In 78 $2500 was Real Money
He expects the business owner to take all of the risk and to give all his money to the employees that makes zero sense
If the unions are a workers advocate,they would be pushing for an end to income taxes and support leaders who advocate liberty and freedom. Reality is the unions are nothing but the strong arm of the Democratic Party
Retired teamster here. 5 years. I wish this man was in charge when I was working the 27 years. Being a teamster retiree is fantastic. I used to fight with them about their politics. This guy is fair
I like how you have REAL men on your channel, with the exception of one that I can think of. I love this conversation. Great job, PBD!
Really enjoy your Podcasts Mr. PBD. Always learning something new. Keep going. You are a great role model.
