At a Convention Like No Other, Teamster Challengers Turn a Corner
labornotes.org
This was a Teamsters convention like no other—and not just because it was held online, avoiding the usual Las Vegas spectacle where a few brave reformers run a gauntlet of booing red-vested

This is big news because it signals a militant and social turn for the Teamsters. This is one of the biggest unions in the country, and it's moving left fast. Fuck democratic party entryism, this is where it's at

    Doubt it. Feels like the machine can’t make concessions anymore. We’ve been in the same crisis of a declining rate of profit since the 70s. They’ve been carving out a pound of flesh to cover for it but that can only go so far

      No, they haven't had to make any concessions since the New Deal. They've just been hollowing everything out since then.
