International Brotherhood of Teamsters
U.S. labor union; historically center-left, currently mixed-to-right-leaning under current leadership
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is a member-funded U.S. labor union representing about 1.25 million workers in transportation, logistics, and related industries. Under General President Sean O'Brien, the union has moved noticeably closer to the Trump administration compared to the union's decades-long Democratic alignment, though tensions over labor rights have produced friction. Its public messaging reflects that ambivalent posture: supportive of some Trump economic positions such as tariffs, while objecting to administration actions that affect union workers.
