Haverty-Stacke<\/strong><br \/>\nThe 1934 Minneapolis Teamster general strike coincided with the San Francisco General Strike. After the Minneapolis strike, the government, the companies and more conservative union officials sought to go after the leadership of the Teamster Local 544 for organizing the strike and fighting against corporate unionism. Donna T. Haverty-Stacke who is professor at Hunter College in New York has written an important work of this trial and period. Haverty-Stacke will discuss the lessons of this trial and how the leadership was removed and replaced by a more compliant union that was interested in working with the companies and government to blacklist the leaders of the general strike.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2W_5Kl5DEBs\">Click here to watch her presentation on July 15, 2018<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1897\" src=\"https:\/\/stevezeltzer.com\/laborfest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Mineapolis-smoke.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Mineapolis-smoke.jpg 900w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Mineapolis-smoke-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Mineapolis-smoke-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Mineapolis-smoke-485x337.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1898\" src=\"https:\/\/stevezeltzer.com\/laborfest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teamsters1934-sticksx3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teamsters1934-sticksx3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teamsters1934-sticksx3-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teamsters1934-sticksx3-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laborfest.net\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teamsters1934-sticksx3-485x348.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Donna T.
