"Teamster politics tells the 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 political action ... and mobilized labor opposition to U.S. imperialism's entry into World War II."--Page (4) de la couv.
