All this teamster talk is fascinating. Would it surprise anyone to find that some local police unions are in the Teamsters Union? Put "Police teamsters" on Google and see what you get. No, they're not all truck drivers. Roy

Lots of employments were eligible to pay the dues. As a teen-ager in Kansas City, worked in the Coca Cola plant stacking flats of empties as they came off the trucks. Not eligible or wanting to join the union, gave the Steward $5.00 a week to be able to work. It was cash money and no records were kept. Each week, he told the foreman it was ok for me to work for another week (after he had my $5.00, of course).
