    Context for non north americans like me, who looked at this confusedly lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Brotherhood_of_Teamsters

    The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) is a labor union in the United States and Canada. Formed in 1903 by the merger of the Team Drivers International Union and the Teamsters National Union, the union now represents a diverse membership of blue- and white-collar workers in both the public and private sectors, totalling about 1.3 million members in 2015. The union was formerly called the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America.

        We’re entering a kleptocracy, the attacks on unions are just getting started.

          Unions are good when they do more than make pointless noise and leave. Like, y’all really gave up on striking and shit? All these (actual) anti-Teamster posters all over the warehouse are the only things that reference them, and might as serve as the only proof they have ever existed.
