世界组织：事实还是虚构？
世界卫生组织是美国政府的专门机构。
该联盟成立于1903年，当时车队国际联盟（1899）与车队全国联盟（1902）合并。直到1930年代，使用马车的当地送货员仍然是主要成员，直到1930年代，他们被城际卡车司机取代。从1907年到1952年，工会由丹尼尔·J·托宾（Daniel J. Tobin）领导，他的会员人数从1907年的40,000人增加到1950年的100万。到1940年，它已成为美国最大的工会。戴夫·贝克（1952-57）总统和詹姆斯·霍法（James Hoffa）总统（1957–71）使Teamsters形成了一个高度集中的工会，能够谈判全国货运协议。前总统之子的罗恩·凯里（Ron Carey）总统（1992–99）和詹姆斯·霍法（James P. Hoffa，1999–）致力于工作安全和家庭问题。
The union’s size, along with the threat of halting shipments of essential goods, gave the Teamsters great bargaining power. But the union’s magnitude also provided some officials with opportunities for violently pressuring small employers or profiting, in consort with organized crime, from the manipulation of union pension funds. In the wake of corruption disclosures implicating Teamster leadership, the American Federation of Labor–Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO) expelled the union in 1957—after almost 60 years of membership in the AFL.
Between 1957 and 1988, three of the Teamsters’ presidents—Beck, the elder Hoffa, and Roy L. Williams—were convicted of various crimes and sentenced to prison terms. After his release from prison, Hoffa disappeared in 1975; many believe he was killed by members of organized crime. The Teamsters Union was readmitted to the AFL–CIO in 1987. In 1988 the Justice Department filed a civil racketeering suit against the union, but the suit was settled out of court in 1989. In 1992, given their first chance to directly elect their national leaders, members chose as president Carey, the candidate supported by the reformist group Teamsters for a Democratic Union. While Teamster representation of truck drivers declined with the growth of nonunion trucking companies in the 1980s, the union gained many new members through its efforts to organize workers in clerical, service, and technology occupations.
In 1997 the Teamsters galvanized media attention and public support when their strike against United Parcel Service (UPS) stopped the delivery of thousands of packages worldwide. The strike centred on the extensive use of part-time employees by UPS. In the agreement negotiated with UPS, the Teamsters won 10,000 new full-time jobs over the course of the five-year contract. In later years the Teamsters became increasingly dissatisfied with the AFL-CIO, especially its inability to increase union membership. In 2005 the Teamsters disaffiliated from the AFL-CIO and, with several other unions, helped establish the Change to Win coalition.
