An upcoming meeting between former President Donald Trump and the Teamsters has unsettled some union leaders and members, as Trump and President Biden compete for the union's support in the 2024 election season. The meeting with Trump is the second this month for Teamsters President Sean O'Brien and comes a week after Biden received a long-awaited endorsement from the United Auto Workers. The decision to meet again with Trump has drawn reaction from some left-leaning Teamsters members and leaders, even though the union has held talks with presidential candidates from all political parties this December. Biden has often touted his record with labor unions, while at times struggling to make inroads with working-class union members. Join labor unions.
