The ruling means Glacier Northwest Inc. can sue over its claim that wet concrete loaded onto trucks was rendered useless after workers walked off the job.
Unions also regularly betrayed their own workers by kicking out socialists and minorities to try and please our ruling class, and it just made them weaker and easier to destroy
Can you explain what you mean, for someone less informed on unions in the US? Are the Teamsters a reactionary bunch, or are you saying some Teamsters happen to be reactionary?
Teamsters are a union you can affiliate with when you form a union. When you're going through the legal union process in the US, you can affiliate at the time you form and it's very difficult to change afterwards.
Locals are the local union that might affiliate with a bigger union, like the Teamsters.
A lot of Teamster locals are particularly reactionary. Not all, but many. They have chuddy views and try to bargain about the latest mainstream anti-Democrat talking points and so on. Like wearing masks during the pandemic.
They are modestly militant, though, which is more than I can say for a lot of other US unions. It's worthwhile trying to reform the locals, imo - and to kick out the cops.

Settler moment.
More recently it's been reactionaries. Lots od reactionary Teamster unions. Cop unions tend to be Teamsters.
I mean, I think kicking out socialists and minor has to qualify unions of the past as reactionary in some way too no?
Yes but I'm thinking of unions that are against socialists because socialists are pro-trans and pro-immigrant.
I see what you mean now
