IBT 808 Sec.Treas Chris Silvera on "confederate" Being Invited By IBT Pres. Sean O'Brien To IBT HQ

Teamsters International President Sean O'Brien has enraged Teamsters throughout the country when he secretly met with former president Trump at Mar-O-Lago and followed this up when he ordered the entire Executive Board to come to the Washington headquarters for a personal meeting with Trump to see whether the Teamsters should support him in the 2024 elections.

One of the Teamster leaders that has challenged this is IBT 808 Secretary Treasurer Chris Silvera who is also the past president of Teamsters National Black Caucus. He calls Trump a "confederate" who does not belong at the Teamster national headquarters.

He was interviewed by WorkWeek on 1/26/24.
