U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee participated in a hearing titled, “Labor Law Reform Part I: Diagnosing the Issues, Exploring Current Proposals.” In his hearing discussion with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, Senator Mullin credited President Trump with getting both leaders to the table to find common ground on labor issues.
U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) shared the following reaction to the hearing:
“Oklahoma is a strong right-to-work state,” said Senator Mullin. “As the Republican Party continues to make significant gains with labor, including the 58 percent of Teamsters who supported President Trump, it’s critical we partner with the Trump administration, business owners, and workers across the country to help our economy thrive.”
“The last time Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and I were in a hearing room; I was telling him to ‘stand his butt up,’” said Mullin. “President Trump has a way of bringing people together. I’d like to see if labor can help us build in America again.”
Senator Mullin was recently invited to join the Better Bad Ideas Podcast with Sean O’Brien. The 80-minute episode, which launched today, is available for playback on all platforms. A 5-minute preview of the candid podcast episode is available HERE.
