Teamster Politics

Teamster Politics tells the story of how Minneapolis Teamster Local 544, guided by a class-struggle leadership in the 1930s... combatted FBI frame-ups... collaborated with the unemployed to fight for jobs... deployed the Union Defense Guard and stopped an organizing drive by the fascist Silver Shirts... fought for the unions to adopt a course of independent working-class political action... and mobilized labor opposition to U.S. imperilism's entry into World War II.
