Random stuff that doesn't smoothly fall under any of the previous posts

1. Some striking workers became violent. What act did that break? Answer: Landrum-Griffin Act.


2. Compare this strike to parts fo the movie Hoffa: The International Brothehood of teamsters both played central roles in the strike and the movie. Hoffa depicted many strikes, some of which became violent like the UPS strikes in Boston and New York. Other then that there really wern't any similarities. The UPS strike didn't have any scandals or anything, even though they did have to do with pension funds like Hoffa.
