Some battles were bloody\, all of them were fraught with dange r. \nNever backing down\, IBT Local 574 eventually broke the grip of the b usiness community\, making Minneapolis a union town and inspiring union or ganizing across the Midwest. \nAuthor John Hanson recalls the stories his father told him about those heroic men and women and the fight to establis h a democratic union. His is a poignant\, personal story that speaks a uni versal language of courage and justice. \n  \nAbout the Author\nJohn’s interest in unions and labor history began at home. His dad was a union or ganizer and strike committee member in the famous 1934 Teamsters strike in Minneapolis. His father was a great storyteller with a sharp memory for d ates and events. After studying\nat the University of Minnesota and Willia m Mitchell College of Law\, John built a career across many roles—union and nonunion\, government\, mediation\, and quality improvement work\, all the while immersing himself in the rich history of the Minneapolis immigr ant experience and the labor movement.
