[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5079676, member: 76643"] Would these Teamsters be uncomfortable with what happened in Minneapolis, 1934? Because that's also part of our heritage. People forget that it's taken more than voting and other polite procedures to win a decent standard of living and some rights on the job. And now we're in the midst of unions fading away. For example, on this site you have people recently wondering if the federal government would even 'allow' us to strike in 2023, given how vulnerable the supply chains have been. To my mind, that translates to: we have a lot of power, if we can band together. I was telling the manager at a small business that a strike might be on the table and he was in awe. "Imagine!" Then he explained to his secretary how the company has been treating us, how much money they've made, etc etc. I laughed and told him he's got the makings of a good Teamster. [/QUOTE]
