Labor’s Turning Point: The Minneapolis Truck Strikes of 1934 - A Rank and File
By John De Graaf 1981 (44 min.)
This film is the only documentary on the historic Minneapolis Teamster general strike. This powerful strike led by the rank and file provided the game plan according to Jimmy Hoffa for the organization of the Teamsters nationally. Local 574 in Minneapolis was the local in July 1934 that successfully challenged the companies, politicians and national guard in winning union recognition for thousands of teamsters. It also cost the lives of two workers.------------------------------------------- posted 9:25 AM :: reference link ::
