With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Teamsters supporting BA cabin crew? O dear.

The history of the teamsters demonstrates how entrenched organised labour in the US is a long way from doing good for the common man. Or exercising any cooperation during national emergencies. The teamster priority has always been to make sure that any jobs available go to their own membership. Good old Jimmy Hoffa. Nice to see the family tradition being carried on.

I couldn't imagine the Teamsters having any kind of presence at JFK. Philadelphia, perhaps.

(We used to be amused by the adverts of THE SICILIAN ASPHALT COMPANY. Concrete overshoes provided.)
