    O'Brien/Hawley work on GOP friendly PRO-Act

    Coming to a compromise on a bad bill for businesses and tens of millions of independent contractors may be an impossibility.

    "The bill went nowhere in the Republican-controlled House and fared little better in the narrowly Democratic Senate, though the Teamsters are working with US Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, a Trump ally, to develop a more GOP-friendly alternative." Sounds more like class collaboration, what does the general president expect to get from the "GOP-friendly alternative"? Like the article states, this GOP friendly version is more business friendly.

    When will the Teamsters and working class realize that working within this corporate political party duopoly won't achieve anything. Corporations have more power and influence than ever yet what do we have to show. Nada.

      Working people will always be taken advantage of by rich people. We need a Labor Party now.

        Both corporate political parties duopoly play the working class. We heard a lot about tariffs in this election and who do think will pay for these tariffs? The exporting countries won't flip the bill, the consumer will play at the register. Prices of goods, groceries, are too high and they probably stay that high. These two parties do not advocate or champion the working class, you can ask the "Blue Wall" what the North American Free Trade Agreement/NAFTA did.
        We need a Labor Party or the People Party, whatever we want to call it. What we also need is a strong rank-and-file led labor movement. A real militant labor movement and not a "practice picket" labor movement. The potential of a strike will never come close to a strike, if I want to drink a coke> I am not going to buy a diet coke, I want the real thing.

      That article is clearly pro-business and opposes the PRO Act, and does not see that there is a 'GOP-friendly' version.

        Anything they come up with is gonna be a lot more "GOP friendly" and "business friendly" than "Union Friendly".
