Unionization. We Teamsters had to fight some of our own Leaders as well as the Nixon White House. When Carter wiped out the ICC,and then Reagan snuffed out PTCO,that in it's self were two biggies in ideal changes among many workers. They bought the propaganda right to work crap hook line and sinker. Now we see the end results of not paying attention.

After four Careers,two Union and two non-Union,the idea of freedom to improve you lot by self bargaining with your Employer is pure Bullshit my friends. To this day,love the challenge to help organize any Business or Industry in favor of any Union. Something about walking that picket line. Damn it feels good.
