[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 53206"] Proups I'd agree with you that The Teamsters as a whole are largely compromised by corruption.Years ago in college I'd read a book that went as far as stating that the Central States Pension Fund was created for nothing more than being used as an ATM card for organized crime.One has to wonder if the union's inability to shed that overiding perception over the last three generations is as big of a culprit as any in it's stalled efforts to organize potential members. I won't go so far as to say that Overnite "won".The definition of winning can vary.Overnite had to spend in the millions of dollars to counter the effects of the striking workers,and it's parent company,Union Pacific,has decided to put it up for sale.Many of the workers did achieve pay raises and overtime and it's doubtful the company would have given them either had they not tried to organize.There are in my experience only pyrrhic victories for either side in any strike.
