A century of unions: Members, leaders think they’re still misunderstood By DEBORAH J. MYERS
For 100 years, the Teamsters have worked as an employee advocacy group. The union has been around in the Finger Lakes region since the 1930s. Although shipping and trucking firm employees dominate the organization’s membership, the Teamsters are present in employment sectors ranging from secretaries to janitors. Even Mickey Mouse is a Teamster — costumed workers at Walt Disney World are covered by the union.------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
