Teamster Rebellion

From the publisher:

This is the story of the 1934 Teamsters organizing drive in Minneapolis. Through hard fought strikes, rank-and-file workers defeated the trucking bosses and the strikebreaking efforts of the big-business "Citizens Alliance" and the city, state, and federal governments.

Farrell Dobs, who emerged from the ranks as part of the class struggle leadership of the strikes, describes how a fighting industrial union movement was built in Minnesota, helping to pave the way for the rise of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).

Part of a four volume series on the Midwest Teamsters organizing drive in the 1930s, Teamster Rebellion is indispensable reading for the new generation of workers coming into the mines, mills, and factories today.
