Description: Story of how Minneapolis Teamster Local 544, guided by a class-struggle leadership in the 1930s combated FBI frame-ups, collaborated with the unemployed to fight for jobs, deployed the Union Defense Guard and stopped an organizing drive by the fascist Silver Shirts, fought for the unions to adopt a course of independent working-class policial action, and mobilized labor opposition to U.S. imperialism's entry into World War II.
