Teamsters's blog

The NAACP yesterday validated what we've been saying all along about New Era Cap company; that it finds New Era in gross violation of workers' basic Civil Rights.

We posted this to the Teamster Myspace page earlier and thought to pass it along here. It is a story that was up on Union Review and thought it was worthwhile to post. The original appears here.

Today I sent out bulletins on MYSPACE requesting members contact me directly if they were interested in being in our newly minted online army. I wasn't sure that I would get any response at all. Shortly after pushing the bulletin I got insanely busy and, though I didn't forget about my recruitment message to potential online union soldiers, I wasn't exactly hawking over possible results either.

As many people here probably already know, the Teamsters along with a number of other organizations, are furious over the recent decision by the Department of Transportation to blatantly break the law around the Mexican Trucking Pilot Program.
