    GOP senator challenges Teamsters president to a fight during hearing – By Justin Boggs (Scripps News) / Nov 14, 2023

    For a second time this year, Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien got into a heated exchange during a hearing.

    At a hearing of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., challenged Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien to a fight, prompting committee Chair Bernie Sanders to intervene.

    The committee hearing, titled Standing Up Against Corporate Greed: How Unions are Improving the Lives of Working Families, featured the heads of several top unions. O’Brien was there on behalf of Teamsters just months after his union secured a major collective bargaining agreement with UPS after workers threatened to strike.

    “This is a time and this is a place. You want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here. OK?” Mullin said.

    “That is fine, perfect,” O’Brien said.
