No thanks to National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) foot dragging and willful obstinance, a Wisconsin couple finally received settlement checks from a Teamster local after a 30 -year legal struggle. “The case spanned five presidencies, dozens of National Labor Relations Board members, and numerous appearances before the D.C.

Union-Govt cronies at their best. Not surprising in the least.
I was UAW for ten years, and a Steward for four…Mind numbingly
stupid….We were working mandatory 58 hours a week ,every 3rd
Saturday off….And On My only Day off Sunday…We had UAW
Meetings…4 hours of back patting ..We had a Black Guy named George
that got up and read a list of old Cases of Racism in the workforce
He would just read the Titles “Simmons vs Ford” and the date…
nothing about the actual Cases…Just the titles for 15 minutes
I used park down the Street..Sign in…Make a lot of noise, so
everyone could see Me..
buy a Coke….and then sneak out in time for Football…I did this
for all four years

Legal extortion.
For anyone interested in the anatomy of a similar type case, Steven Ozment wrote _The Bürgermeister’s Daughter: Scandal in a Sixteenth-Century German Town_, about a woman who sued her own father, a lawsuit that only ended with her death 30 years later. Quite good as I recall.
Unions and an appendix, vestiges that are no longer needed.
