Teamsters treat NYPD like labor treated Pinkertons back in the day!

The Pinkertons were always evil in my family history. Ever since they used explosives and blew the arm of the mother of a family friend in the 1800's.

Can't have those nasty unions. Who wants good pay, good working conditions, insurance, job security?

It reminds me of when the Pinkertons were mad about the way they were portrayed in Red Dead Redemption 2. I didn't realize they were still a thing a few years back.

For years I lived just across the river from where the Homestead strike happened.

Definitely made me aware of the history of the labor movement. (Ironic that now the site is a big retail development.)
