    Love my Teamster Brothers and Sisters , even though I'm no longer working in those old jobs with them.

    never had issues. One big family.

    My Dad organized for the teamsters at IBP in Sioux City, late 70's maybe '80. We had a horse, a pony, a goat, and a dog shot over the course of a year, obviously someone out there didn't like the Teamsters.............

    OK, I have the final proof of the handle, and we are a go! The knurling is just deep enough to give traction, without being painful if squeezed and used for an extended period. So on the off chance you have to remove the cord wrap, you are covered. Very pleased!

    A lot of things get paid for out of the "petty cash jar." I don't keep track of it for plausible deniability reasons.
