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.

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.
