Let him organize the dead.

They're letting them in!

It don't look good.

Hey! Get down off them trucks!

You stupid dago!

Get down off of those trucks!

You f***in' scabs!

That's my job you're taking away from me!

You scab bastards, you!

Hey! Hey! Come here!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah!

You think they're gonna be loyal to you,

huh? Crossing over this line?

- Get out of the way!

- You know what you are to them?

A scab, just like you are to us!

A f***ing scab!

F*** you! Get out of the way!

Hey, we're blowing this f***in' strike, Fitz.

I better organize some people this week,

or my family ain't gonna eat.

Where's the justice in that?

Oh, hell.

We're gonna get in another punch-up.

If we can just keep these

f***in' dagos off our backs...

- Just keep your head down.

- Yeah, yeah.

Are you listening? Are you listening?

We're with the Teamsters.

We're with you!

Pull these trucks over!

What's the matter with you?

Jimmy.

Some people wanna see you.

He said, "What are you afraid of?"

Tell him it's none of his f***in' business.

Go on. Tell him what I said.

He said to say that

you're costing him money and that...

you're pissing on his whole operation.

I wanna...

He said to shut up.

He said, why shouldn't he

take you out in the alley

and beat you until you beg for death?

This is the question.

When you f*** with the livelihood

of the people under his protection...

why shouldn't he kill you?

He said, "lf you were in his place,

what would you do?"

Tell him he gives me a cup of coffee,

I'll answer his questions.

Don't go anywhere.

I'm gonna need you here.

Now...

Here's the situation that we got here.

Bring your man D'Ally in.

He'll understand the numbers.

Kreger's got lettuce rotting

all over the south side of the city.

You run men in to break the strike.

The strike goes nowhere,

the people go nowhere.

Doesn't do anybody any good.

We'll win the strike. Thank you very much.

The thing of it is, see...

All right, all right!

The end of the strike...

Let me have your attention for a minute...

Is due to one thing and one thing only:

To the efforts of one man

who went out there,

who went out there in the cold,

who was out there day and night,

speaking the word, spreading the word...

and the word was Teamsters!

The word was unity!

And it overcame the scabs!

And it overcame the company!

It made the day,

and it made us our contract!

Here's the man who

led us through that fight,

the man who beat Kreger,

who broke them down and who took us in,

our new business manager, Red Bennett!

Thank you, thank you.

Listen to me. Listen to me!

Let him talk.

This is a very embarrassing

position for me.

Heh! You bet!
