Maybe the end of UTU as far as the railroads go. Maybe they can petition airline pilots, flight attendants, light-rail operators, building maintenance workers, garbage truck dri... Nah, out here they're all proud Teamsters!
Let's see...the ports! Yeah that's it! The ports... Not everybody belong ta an AFL-CIO organization! UTU could organize... The independent drivers who short-haul containers into, and out of the ports...
No wait, they already tried that, and damn near all the indys joined the local Teamsters!
Maybe the BOT's days are numbered after all!
