      Unions actually raise non union wages in shops that are not union it's called prevailing wages.
      If we didn't have Unions then none of them would be making a living wage in sectors such as automobile workers, electricians and plumbers. Sean should endorse Biden.

      Yes but it's the unions that push our wages up and everyone benefits at the worker end. More money in our pockets means we spend more in our local economies and that helps other workers.
      Conversely without unions, money stays in the pockets of the wealthy; it doesn't trickle down.

    An undoubtedly phenomenal speech by Sean O’Brien, General President of the Teamsters union. I loved the fact he said I don’t care if you have a D or and R against your name, I just want to know what you are going to do for the American worker. One could see vast parts of his speech Trump and others on the podium did not agree with, but I’m glad he had the chance to speak out in prime time on a Party’s platform who have rarely supported or agreed with unions; in fact, as the General President acknowledged they have been openly hostile, but 1.3 million workers cannot be ignored.
    This well enunciated, well-articulated speech by Mr. O’Brien spoke about companies being worth $2 trillion dollars (bigger than many national economies) but provide no real health insurance, retirement benefits or paid leave. I suspect Mr. O’Brien probably realises he won’t get his demands from the Republican Party in power, only Joe Biden speaks about the importance of unionised job and unions, but all in all undoubtedly this will be the best speech of the RNC Conference. I commend and salute you sir, you’re a tribute to your union and an excellent choice for General President.
