as others note, it doesnt take a genius or a lot of muscle to dump the truck. it does take someone to move the truck, tho. i can see a teamster’s shop where no one w/o the right card is gonna touch that truck. i mean, the industry is such that ppl dont just do a job they dont have the training for. i cant see a concrete co where no one in management was ever a driver, tho.

hard to say how long they had to dump the trucks. if they’d already been sitting on a job site for a while, they might have been ready to turn when they pulled in the yard. they might have had an hour, or they might have had zero time.

again, i have no doubt they laughed all the way home. they knew what they were doing. causing that kind of damage is not a good negotiating tactic. imho, the union movement headed the wrong way when they got in bed w the mob. they might never have gotten off the ground w/o the violence, but it’s time to walk that shit back.
