[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4338482, member: 1"] [URL='https://jacobinmag.com/2020/01/teamsters-democratic-union-tdu-hoffa-ups'][B]The Teamster Revolt Against the Hoffa Era - Jacobin[/B][/URL] Willie Ford listened to the conference call in disbelief from the cab of his tractor trailer on I-95 as the Teamster election monitor announced the results of the contract vote covering 250,000 workers at UPS. Ford, a leader of Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU), and rank-and-file activists like him, had spent months organizing the UPS Teamster United campaign to win contract improvements. But UPS management and top Teamster officials agreed to givebacks, including a two-tier wage scale for drivers, and spent millions on a coordinated campaign to promote and push through their concessionary deal. Now was the moment of truth. [/QUOTE]
