Teamsters Union - Minneapolis 1934

Linda Gillison, Soundman Jim and Mark take on our Word of the Week: “Teamsters Union - Minneapolis 1934.” As a follow up to our coverage of the January 23rd Minnesota General Strike against ICE, we will learn about an earlier resistance movement in Minneapolis, the seminal 1934 Teamsters Union Rebellion, and its parallels with January 23rd. Then we will look at the partial victory over ICE in Minnesota. Then we will hear two stories about ICE’s terrible damage to two rural communities: Willmar, Minnesota and Froid, Montana; and how these communities are responding. And then we will hear Brendan Work read his opinion piece “Overwhelmed? Flood the Zone Right Back” published in the Missoulian on January 27th. Finally we will hear from Lucas Moody and his Missoula City Council Report.
