Synopsis
This is the story of the strikes and union organizing drive the men and women of Teamsters Local 574 carried out in Minnesota in 1934, paving the way for the continent-wide rise of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) as a fighting social movement. Through hard-fought strike actions, which were in fact organized battles, they made Minneapolis a union town, defeating not only the trucking bosses but strikebreaking efforts of the big-business Citizens Alliance and city, state, and federal governments. They showed in life what workers and their allies on the farms and in the cities can achieve when they're able to count on the leadership they deserve.

Review
In this book, Farrell Dobbs, one of the organizers of the landmark strike of 1934 against the trucking companies operating in Minneapolis, provides an insider s look at the struggles of Teamster Local 574 and how the Local became a vigorous social force in the city. Rebelión Teamster is the first of four books in the Teamster Series published by Pathfinder. The series consists of: Rebelión Teamster, Poder Teamster, Teamster Politics and Teamster Bureaucracy. Rebelión Teamster and Poder Teamster are available in Spanish.
Jack Barnes, an American Communist and the National Secretary of the Socialist Workers Party, provides a thoughtful introduction to this book explaining that Rebelión Teamster is the documented history of a solid experience in the struggle between classes... Photographs and newspaper clippings add to the historical value of Dobb s accounts.
Recommended for adult collections in public and academic libraries. --REFORMA journal
