      A labor leader with 18 years in union administration has admittedly probably gotten soft, but I got 10 on a teamster every time.

        Someone who ever did work is typically still fitter than someone who never did (injury aside)

        Nah they’re probably, like, training in secret to be a badass old person, Iroh style, so they can specifically do violence. I choose to believe!

    There’s a line that Sean O’brien frequently says: “Fighting for workers is a full-contact sport”. He says it to conclude his speeches and he has it in his twitter bio.

      Despite it being a clear violation of labor law, he’s been on record advocating for “boston pickets”

        My headcanon is that Sean is ancestor of Starfleet Chief Miles.

        boston pickets

        Never heard that term, but based on what some of my family in Local 25 have to say about O’Brien, I assume it means getting physical?

    Historically, challenging the Teamsters to a fight doesn’t end well for whoever challenged the Teamsters too a fight. Hope you didn’t need those kneecaps

      Teamsters don’t fuck around. They had our backs when we did a strike years ago. Company caved once the Teamsters got involved. Love them forever.

    Sean O’brien

    union-man

    willing to fight a Klingon on the picket line

    e: also this would be a great UFC promotional match, O’brien’s proceeds could go to the union coffers even, probably the only way for this to go down without some federal charges

    ee:

    sicko-wistful

    After continued back-and-forth on social media between the two after the original March incident, Sen. Mullin challenged the Teamsters president to a charity MMA fight. "MMA fight for charity of our choice. Sept 30 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ll give you 3 days to accept,” Mullin tweeted.

      2016 Bernie would have told O’brien to stand down because assaulting a US Senator is a Federal felony. Then he would have said, “I’ll do it” and bludgeoned the shit out of Mullin with a podium, Via Getty style. punished-bernie
