According to John, at the forum in February Dan "La Botz ... made much of the reform leaders like Sean O’Brien of the Teamsters..." ( https://oaklandsocialist.com/2024/02/05/review-of-forum-on-the-new-labor-movement/ ) John did not quote La Botz to support this point.
Anyway, in a CYA move today, La Botz scrambles to roll things back with a piece, "Teamster President Sean O’Brien’s Pro-Worker Speech at RNC Only Helped Trump and His Anti-Worker Agenda" ( https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/07/17/teamster-president-sean-obriens-pro-worker-speech-at-rnc-only-helped-trump-and-his-anti-worker-agenda/ ). Let's not allow the UAW's Shawn Fain to slip by in contrast to O'Brien, just because Fain is able to make buddy-buddy with Biden while O'Brien has to settle for Trump.
