A coal mine explosion in Spangler, Pa., kills 79. The mine had been rated gaseous in 1918, but at the insistence of new operators it was rated as non-gaseous even though miners had been burned by gas on at least four occasions. ~ Labor Tribune

Teamsters Transport Capitol Christmas Tree from Alaska to DC
Posted On: Nov 06, 2024
Nov. 6, 2024 | TRUCKING | As we begin to focus on the fast-approaching holiday season, all Teamsters should take a moment to revel in pride knowing that “The People’s Tree,” as the Capitol Christmas Tree is called, will be in the safe hands of two Teamster drivers as it travels from Alaska to Washington DC. The drivers are members of Teamsters Local 959 and have collectively driven over 10 million accident-free miles as employees of Lynden in Alaska. Their stellar records of safety and professionalism are why they were selected for this nationally recognized honor. “We are happy that this year’s Capitol Christmas Tree that is being transported from Wrangell, Alaska to Washington D.C. will be transported by our very own members John Schank and Fred Austin,” said Teamsters Local 959 Secretary-Treasurer Gary Dixon.
