Looked this one up and the workers at this place went to the Teamsters Local 574, who helped them organize and go on strike (as is the case with most Minneapolis strikes between 1934 and 36), and subsequently join the grain millers union. The strike lasted 10 weeks. It included a 5 day sit-down strike in the plant where 40 workers were arrested. Non-partisan league (famous for "penny auctions" - look it up) legal defense helped the arrested workers. The workers won raises from 2 1/2 cents an hour to 5 cents, overtime, seniority.

#WSJ is hawkish....Mullin to "rumble" against...
Funny thing, today #Mullin #homelandsecurity is best friends with #Teamsters president Sean O'Brien
But he was picked by #Trump so... his #MAGA will not soften
#Mullin has long been critical of #sanctuarycities that don't co-operate with federal efforts to arrest #undocumented #immigrants

U.S. President Donald Trump's firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday overshadowed the announcement of his plans to nominate Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her successor. But who is the Oklahoman tapped to take over the position?
You know after #MarkwayneMullin challenged #SeanOBrien, the #Teamsters prez, to a fight in that Senate hearing, the 2 became fast friends & workout buddies. O'Brien went on to make no US Presidential endorsement in 2024 & spoke at the RNC.
