Last fall, I delivered a load of Alaska bound Bud to one of the relay warehouses in Tacoma. I can't remember the name of the place but it was a union outfit, staffed by Teamsters. The nice lady that unloaded my truck confided to me that the Teamsters had their eye on Swift. Not hearing a word since, it was easy to dismiss her claim as a rumor.

I expect the anti unionists will mark this as the beginning of the end for Swift and I welcome any comments to that effect.
More importantly, I'd like to hear from the pro unionists. Tell me how a union will strengthen Swift as a company and how I will benefit when I am asked to join.
