In case anyone thought racial problems in the Teamsters is new under O'Brien.
O'Brien praised Tobin when running for his position, the racist, picket-line crossing, pro-business former Teamster's leader.
The Teamsters were famous for pushing "skilled" vs "unskilled" worker distinctions. Only skilled workers needed union protections. You could usually tell if a worker was considered skilled by their skin color.
The Teamsters have always been the union that your boss wants you to choose if they have to let you pick a union. They have everything a boss wants: no strikes, keep people divided via racism, crush any talk of socialism, no qualms about crossing picket lines and being scabs to "raid" a more principled union as a method of hostile, boss-assisted growth.
