It is an interesting contract to the meat packer’s union which is trying to stop the investigation and deportation of illegal workers in that industry.

Yes, but the Meatcutter’s Union has an invested interest. Many of those illegal workers already ARE union members. I asked a Union Rep. how this is possible and was told that it didn’t matter whether or not they are American members, the union is ‘international’.....United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.
And while Hoffa has been instrumental in getting the truckers stopped, I also agree that if the Teamsters could unionize these drivers, they would be fighting for the right for them to be here.
Soon, the same will be happening with the Superhighway railway. My brother-in-law is an railroad engineer and Legislative Rep. for the Teamsters. They are gearing up to do the same thing.
