This webpage is available to drivers who wish to communicate. Tell us your beef's and concerns. We want to know what's on your mind. The idea is to get people to understand that truckers and longshore are not enemies. In fact we're natural allies.
Solidarity begins with understanding.
And the only way to accomplish this is with communication. The article below was taken from the Rank and File newsletter put out in the 1930's Unity of Longshoremen, Seamen, and Teamsters Past experience on the Frisco waterfront has shown that in any fight against the shipowners by the longshoremen, the stand the teamsters and seamen take play a deciding part. If we succeed in winning support of the teamsters and seamen, the winning of any strike is a certainty. We must therefore, from the beginning reach the teamsters and seamen with our aims and connect these with their own problems. Only by taking an interest in the problems and grievances of the teamsters and seamen and giving them our support whenever they need it, we can win them over to our side.
