The spokesperson said Stauber was invited to the private gathering inside the union hall with the Teamsters to give an update on the Faster Labor Contracts Act. Stauber, according to the spokesperson, had nothing to do with organizing the meeting and was not aware of which media outlets were invited or not invited to be there. Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa said two of his officers were contracted through the U.S. Capitol Police to be at the Stauber event. Lubbers said gatekeeping and a lack of accountability was on full display at the union hall gathering Wednesday night. Radzak explained there were capacity concerns inside the union hall for the Stauber event, which is why media was not allowed inside.
