RTA Strike

The RTA strike was horrible and many people died from it. Jimmy Hoffa, who was the organizer of the teamster, helped to gathered all the people and convinced them to join in. He convinced people by telling them they should join the teamster if them want better working condition, better wages, fringe benefits...etc. He used all the opportunity that he has to gather more people. For example, without thinking, he helped a trucker to fix his truck while he pass him. He had also negotiated with the people that they striking with. There were nothing come with agreement every time they negotiate. Finally, Jimmy ran out of patient and order the striker to assail the building. The cops were not the only people that the teamster needed to fight with. The teamster also needed to fight with the people that had hired to protect the building. Many people ended up dying from the strike. Many families lost their own son who were only 20 years old.
