Grandfather started a business in 1908. Teamster union in the 1930’s threaten and committed violence till the company became a union shop.
I saw first hand how the Teamsters and affiliates got paid off by my family after a strike was threaten. The drivers and affiliates found out in the 1970’s the fixed membership monthly amount became a percentage. The drivers got a raise then the Teamsters got a raise. Pretty much cancelled the raise for the drivers. The teamsters money went to the central pension fund which lent money to the casinos in Las Vegas.
Government made a deal with mob, to allow them to control the unions, better the mob than the Communists, as it is in most European Unions.
