As a Teamster for 33 years, I was on strike once in 1996. Our Teamster strike pay was $56/week. Of course our company provided medical was pulled. We were quickly starved back onto the job. I am proud to say Teamster leadership never missed a dime of their massive contributions to Slick’s reelection campaign that year.
I would be willing to bet that Teamster leadership never missed a dime of their own personal compensation either.
