Today in Labor History April 6, 1905: The Teamsters launched a sympathy strike with clothing cutters in Chicago. The strike started on December 15, 1904, at Montgomery Ward. The company locked out the workers and tried to starve them. The strike quickly spread to other unions. By April 6, 1905, there were 5,000 clothing workers on the picket lines. The teamsters added another 10,000 of their own. The bosses tried to ram through armed wagons full of scabs. The strikers fought back. Things grew increasingly violent. By the time the strike ended in May, twenty-one people were dead, mostly workers.

Amazon Labor Union Defends Immigrant Workers

from #WorldOutlook
March 12, 2025

"The following is a statement by the #AmazonLaborUnion – International Brotherhood of Teamsters (#ALU-IBT) Local 1 defending immigrant workers from government and employer attacks. The #ALU represents #Amazon workers at the company’s giant JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

The #ALU statement sets a good example of how the labor movement needs to treat immigrant workers: as fellow workers, as brothers and sisters.

This question has become urgent as the Trump administration has escalated raids, arrests, and deportations of immigrants under the guise of expelling “foreign criminals” from the United States. "

@jeffjarvis Elon Musk is a born-rich silver spoon Nazi who’s never done a real day’s work in his life. It’s repulsive that he’s doing this.

The way US labor got kneecapped since the Cold War is seriously going to fuck us, because the only decent tool here is a general strike

also: fuck that vile worm Sean O’Brien. Some rank & file #teamsters should teach that scab a lesson.

A threatened strike at Costco was averted on Saturday after the company and negotiators for the Teamsters union came to a tentative agreement. Full terms have not been made public, but beyond wages and benefits, the union had demands around seniority pay, paid family leave, bereavement policies, sick time, and safeguards against surveillance.
