The IBT has launched the Teamster History Project, which includes 27 unedited interviews with Teamsters who made it happen. It covers the years 1975-1999. Those interviewed include several TDU leaders, participants in the Carey administration, James Hoffa, along with two Hoffa lieutenants who were expelled from the union for corruption and self-dealing.
The consent order, the first one-member-one-vote election, the 1997 UPS strike…it’s all discussed by the participants. Even the two leaders of the “BLAST” goon squad are interviewed.
This is the real deal: it is being conducted independently from the IBT, and housed at George Washington University.
