[QUOTE="Eviloreo, post: 989355, member: 42108"] a long time ago (1800's) labor workers got a short end of the stick, they worked long hours, low pay, 7 days a week, no vacation etc. etc., it sucked. Later groups of workers organized and formed unions that would protect each other in labor disputes, wither violence, or walk outs, or strikes or sit-in with companies they worked for knowing that if they all worked together, they can fight for fair treatment, one of these union groups is Teamsters. Teamsters so happens to be the most successful one, bringing the concept of the "weekend" you understand, 8 hours work day, and they did so very aggressivly, even using violence to get fair treatment for its members. Sometime during the 1960's they were so successful they began to work with the mob and to no surprised they kinda went overboard with "contract negotiations." After a big downfall they cleaned up their act and now is a legit labor union as of 2012. However unlike it's more proud beginnings, teamsters in 2012 have more in common to a toothless lion than contract negotiators. [/QUOTE]
