You Have To Shake Up The Status Quo
Marilyn Sneiderman has her baby pink Teamsters jacket framed on her living room wall. You’ve seen this kind of jacket before, if not in that color — satin with the big union logo on the back, the Teamster twin horse heads over a wagon wheel. But when Sneiderman was hired as the education director for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in the early 1990s, under the reform leadership of Ron Carey, she was one of few women in power. The pink jacket is, in a way, a symbol of her entire career in the labor movement.
