In Early History: "The Teamsters were, as an example, at the center of the City Front Federation strike of 1901, in which San Francisco unions engaged in something like a general strike." Other sections say teamsters were founded in 1903, two years later... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.213.165 ( talk) 06:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
What's the difference between a teamster and a roadie? This has always confused me. 81.99.61.55 16:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
כתב מוקטן==wikidreck== Allow me to be the thousandth person to comment on the high quantity of low quality articles on wikipedia. The current version is another example of shallow and incomplete history larded with at least a half dozen mistakes — quite an accomplishment for an article this short with this many editors looking at it. A list of those I have caught:
Pardon the snarky tone of this comment, but I actually like wikipedia and hate to see it mangled in this fashion. I will contribute a rewrite that gives some detail and corrects the most obvious errors. But if fifty edits left in this many errors and left out this much detail, then I worry about this project's long-term prospects. -- Italo Svevo 22:19, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hoffa did not enter prison in 1971, he was pardoned by Nixon in 1971. He entered Lewisberg Federal Prison in March of 1967.
This is the overhaul I promised (threatened?). Here's some information that is probably correct, but which I deleted all the same:

I don't think that this really adds all that much. -- 24.126.41.116 08:51, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) aka User:Italo Svevo
I have eliminated the following links. Some are already in the body of the article, some are of dubious relevance solidarity, some don't exist:
Political Action Committee (PAC)
I did some fact checking and found that the Frontier Hotel strike lasting from 1991 to 1998 was part of Local 226 of Culinary Workers Union (UNITE HERE) not Teamsters. -- Ben 18:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I think I can guess from the context, but it would be nice if this article explained how the union is organized with respect to what "locals" are and how they relate to each other and the rest of the union. -- -B- 07:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
It would also be important to include what "lodges" are as well, since the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way uses "lodges" instead of "locals". 65.71.93.97 ( talk) 23:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC)j.crowson
I cut the lead way down in order to present the bare information as an intro, and the rest I either worked back into the chronology of the article or cut out, as it was already there. MSJapan 20:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This Organization preserved the historic spelling of its official name when it became a Division of the Teamsters Union. Please refrain from trying to "correct" the spelling.

I know, I got that all the time when I was President of BMWED Lodge 2286 (allied federation). Everyone would try to tell me there was 2 "e's" in employees, but thats the way we spell it. 65.71.93.97 ( talk) 23:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)J.Crowson
This article has been edited anonymously by Berman and Company, who are lobbyists for amongst others the American Beverage Institute, the Center for Consumer Freedom, the Center for Union Facts and the Employment Policies Institute.
IP address of 66.208.14.242 traces to Berman and Company, see the Whois report. I Spy With My Big Eye ( talk) 10:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
He is not a candidate for the presidential election at this point. He is a candidate for the democratic nomination versus Hillary Clinton. In the event Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, the Teamsters would likely endorse one of the two presidential candidates for the election. When a nominee is selected, this will have to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.11.251.92 ( talk) 06:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
The Teamsters for Obama website was launched on April 21st of 2008, according to my union's website (BMWED). Was that before or after the primaries? 65.71.93.97 ( talk) 23:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)j.Crowson
Woah... I just read this and got chills. This article reads like "The Lore of the Teamsters" or something similar. I'd go so far as to say it's POV-slanted, but as my knowledge of the teamsters is somewhat limited, I don't consider myself qualified to make that determination. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 17:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
The phrase, "the union simply pulled the drivers out of their cabs and signed them up" strikes me as doublespeak- were these drivers willingly asked to sign up, or were they compelled to join? This isn't clear, and leaves it up to the reader's preconceptions of the Teamsters. Another excerpt:Beck used different tactics, on the other hand, to organize the independent owner-operators who hauled much of the agricultural produce from California farms; the union simply pulled the drivers out of their cabs and signed them up.
The definition of a "paper local" is not established anywhere else in the article. My best guess is that it refers to a "local" that is "on paper only", thus it is not a "local" at all. But this sort of jargon should be explained. I hope this helps. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 05:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)In many cases organized crime played an even more direct role. Hoffa depended on the support of a number of "paper locals" from New York established by Johnny Dioguardi, an associate of the Lucchese crime family, in running for the presidency of the Teamsters in 1957.
some background information on why they are called teamsters, what a teamster is, would be useful 84.9.125.170 ( talk) 00:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
There's a lot of refs to Teamsters Locals as if the reader knows what & where they are. I suggest 1) more detail explaining it & (if possible) 2) a comprehensive list of Locals with their locations. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 11:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Very little effort put into producing topic sentences which would ideally inform the reader of what the rest of the paragraph is really about.
WWII ended in 1945 so a 1997 strike doesn't belong in this list:
Can somebody who knows the subject fix this up? Thanks!
