Sean O'Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, was prominent during the RNC, but he didn't exactly say they would endorse Donald Trump for president. So, where does one of the nation's most influential labor unions stand?
KNX News' Craig Fiegener reports that one of the most memorable moments during the first night of the DNC was when the United Auto Workers Union leader removed his coat, revealing a T-shirt declaring Donald Trump a "SCAB."
It sent a clear message that the UAW has given full support to the Harris-Walls ticket.

Contrast that with O'Brien's remarks during the RNC, where he said, "Today; the team is here to say we are not beholden to anyone or any party."
The union leader spoke enthusiastically, and while he didn't quite endorse Trump, the Teamsters, a major union in SoCal, haven't endorsed Harris either.
While some took O'Brien's words as support for the Republican nominee, Los Angeles council member Tim McOsker told KNX News he doesn't think so.

"What we heard in the prior convention was urging the members to look at both candidates and make a choice," said McOsker, representing the Fifteenth Council District.
He said he does not recall a time when the Teamsters backed a Republican, "But I will say that the 15, is an important place for Teamsters, and I cannot imagine anyone evaluating these two candidates and not saying that the choice for working people is the Harris ticket."
