I've told this story before so sorry for that but I had a job with a shitty union. The company provided shitty benefits but it was at least something.

Then the company decided they'd keep the benefits for existing hires but anyone new wouldn't get them. Figured we'd say "fuck you, got mine." The shitty union finally did something and we were gonna strike. The company said "fuck it, strike, we'll just hire scabs.

Then the Teamsters came into play and said they wouldn't deliver to any location that was striking. The company caved and all the new people got their benefits. Solidarity forever. And Go Teamsters! That was the first time I saw unions standing together and I'll never forget it.
