“Life in the Teamsters: The History of DRIVE” explores key events that took place during the first decade (1959-1969) of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ political action organization, DRIVE. DRIVE provided rank-and-file members and their families with the opportunity to mobilize politically at the local, state, and national levels of government in order to protect the interests of working people. Through involvement in DRIVE, Teamster families challenged political attacks on union and non-union workers by supporting pro-labor candidates and pushing for pro-labor legislation.

Throughout its long and rich history, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was committed to one simple idea. That idea was that if someone, anyone, worked in the trade, they belonged in the union, regardless of race, color, creed, or gender on an equal basis with every other member. And that position, that commitment, is unique in American labor history.

A cardinal rule of the labor movement -- and for life in general -- is that one must study the past in order to better prepare for the future. Over the years, our union has been privileged to call some very remarkable men and women teamsters. The stories of their lives -- their struggles, their sacrifices, their achievements -- helped build the foundation of our great union and helped make North America a better place for all of us.

The spellbinding saga of Teamster boss Jackie Presser’s rise and fall In his rise from car thief to president of America’s largest labor union, Jackie Presser used every ounce of his street smarts and rough-edged charisma to get ahead. He also had a lot of help along the way—not just from his father, Bill Presser, a Teamster power broker and thrice-convicted labor racketeer, but also from the Mob and the FBI. At the same time that he was taking orders from the Cleveland Mafia and New York crime boss Fat Tony Salerno, Presser was serving as the FBI’s top informant on organized crime. Meticulously researched and dramatically told, Mobbed Up is the story of Presser’s precarious balancing act with the Teamsters, the Mafia, and the Justice Department. Drawing on thousands of pages of classified files, James Neff follows the trail of greed, corruption, and hubris all the way to the Nixon and Reagan White Houses, where Bill and Jackie Presser were treated as valued friends. Winner of an Investigative Reporters & Editors Award for best reporting on organized crime, it is a tale too astonishing to be made up—and too troubling to be ignored.
