Speaking of good things at the DNC
By 
Bringing some retired Teamsters to explain how Democrats saved their pensions with literally no Republican support to both speak to union voters and troll pathetic Trump kiss-ass Sean O’Brien is tremendous content:
If Harris wins, Sean O’Brien smooching Trump is legitimately going into the labor history books as one of the dumbest political fuckups by a major union leader this century. https://t.co/hjBwwvWy2x— Hamilton Nolan (@hamiltonnolan) August 21, 2024
Of course, it’s all a question of what counts as a labor issue!
How to earn Sean O'Brien's support:
✖️ Favorable NLRB appointments
✖️ Labor-friendly judges
✖️ Labor-friendly Secretary of Labor
✖️ Infrastructure spending

I frankly don’t think “being able to retire without moving in with your children or eating an all Beef-a-roni diet” is the kind of issue that labor unions should care about. Need to keep eyes on the real prize (upper-class tax cuts, holding the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional.)
