Sean O’Brien, the boss of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, defended President Donald Trump’s tariffs during a Senate hearing, urging lawmakers to focus on “massive” CEO compensation instead.
O’Brien testified before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Surface Transportation, where he praised the Trump administration for implementing trade policies that benefit working-class Americans. Despite criticism from some quarters, O’Brien emphasized that his union’s stance is clear and unwavering.
“There’s no secret what our position is as a union on tariffs,” O’Brien insisted. “I think someone referred to me as a self-promoting union boss in one of their articles, but I’m not a self-promoting union boss. I’m a truck driver from a middle-class family that appreciates and embraces the preservation of the middle class.”
The Teamsters’ boss also expressed concerns over foreign nationals being allowed to apply for commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) without sufficient English proficiency standards.
