As a proud teamster myself, right on y’all.

Oh hell yes, a nice little treat to get me through my Friday afternoon at work. Thank you Mxster Chapos!

Dr Nermal Funkenstein

Hey I'm looking for a crash course on the teamsters- general history and current beliefs type stuff. Should I simply search them and hit up their site?

NYCM&AHole

The teamsters gonna break Jeff Bezos kneecaps!

Kenneth Smith

I clicked the comments expecting to see 50 “amber” comments but it seems that particular disease hasn’t infected the Patreon feed

TDU is incredible. They got decades of hard organizing work under their belt.

Yeah ! Amber's back! Also labor is too, which has been suspiciously absent the past few months RIGHT AS A WAVE OF STRIKES and opposition to vaccine mandates have galvanized the American labor movement... all with barely a peep from the Left. And Chapo. But better late than never.

Jimmy B

fat titty Amber herself wow

Chase Huckabee

I love how she just does not acknowledge that he mentions the ISO. I really wanted to hear her thoughts oh the now disbanded Trotskist organization

Sean Orr

705 MFERS! Package car driver at UPS Jeff St. Solidarity!

Robin

M.R. Alchemist

Great ep. Hope the union stays strong and get a good bargain from a fellow union member in Australia 👊🏼

Sam Zeng

What about Las Vegas 2.0 ?

James Gillam

Lol, I’m in Dennis Taylor’s local and he’s super pissed about the 2/3rds rule getting revoked

What a fantastic episode. I'd love to hear the team discuss the impending IATSE strike as well! 60,000 members are prepping to strike this Monday.

Eli Monty

Just came on to a Teamster warehouse job in Minneapolis. I appreciate the info -- this is my first time working union, it makes a big difference. My ballot's in the mail.

Kevin C

Anyone got a link to the tbu fund?

Luke

Hell yeah

Virtuoso191

Did you guys touched on the John Deere situation. Apparently the company isn't doing so well with unskilled non union labor. Multiple 911 calls before 8 am

Willie Reavis

Solidarity from a NRLCA member! His description of the two tier system is similar to how things are at the post office now. Regulars working 12-14 hour days with “part timers” filling the gaps.

Dez Martin

My friend is a UPS driver and I showed him this. I think it stuck

Kevin C

Thank you

Colin Poulton

This episode makes me want to salt Amazon

There’s power in a decent union it’s all most of us workers have left and that’s most of us let’s face it heavy days ahead

I am in a once great union that has since gone corporate. I needed this episode. Thank you.

‘—from there I got introduced to socialist politics’ ✊🏾☺️🔜👊🏾

Great episode! More like this please

Milo Keogh

It’s odd that some for the best organizers I know come from the ISO

Gregory

Steven Skillern

Fantastic episode. Great interview, Amber!

Ethan

How do I become someone who does this stuff

Kasz

Welp, i just joined IWW after listening to this.

Gaz

Research your local Industrial relations laws and apply what you learn in your workplace for and with your coworkers. High tide raises all boats.

Allie

love this episode, more like this and less doomed content please

Eric Valentino

Glad to see Amber back, glimmer of hope hearing from people like Matt who are fighting for working people

James Murray

Get in contact with your local DSA chapter, maybe your local IWW chapter. Not every chapter is the same, some are better than others, really just depends on who is there. If they're a good chapter they'll have people have been involved in labor organizing that you can talk to. If you're willing to get a trucking/packaging job, I'd reach out to the people at TDU in particular.
