Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien demands ‘end the shutdown’ while flanked by Vance, Duffy at White House event Teamsters President Sean O’Brien demanded an end to the government shutdown Thursday in a passionate speech on its impact on the U.S. aviation industry and working families. Flanked by Vice President JD Vance and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy outside the West Wing of the White House, the union leader called on lawmakers, including Senate Democrats, to “end the shutdown” and pass a clean continuing resolution (CR) to reopen the government… “We took a position three weeks ago,” O’Brien said Thursday. “Pass a clean CR, get to the table, negotiate a deal. Do not put working people in the middle of a problem. They should not be in there,” he added. “And we have got to think about the families that are going to be affected. Think about when you have to tell your son or daughter they can’t play sports because you’re not getting paid. Think about when you can’t pay your mortgage. Think about when you can’t pay your tuition.”… “Put the politics aside, get to the table, negotiate a deal, pass a clean CR right now, and then figure out the problems moving forward,” he said. “Let’s not compromise the safety or the livelihoods of working people. Pass a clean CR.”
