The the writers strike already has at least one icon—and she’s not a writer. Lindsay Dougherty is a Teamster boss who heads up Local 399. She said Teamster trucks would not cross picket lines. And she sent a raucous message that rang out through Hollywood: “What I’d like to say to the studios is: If you want to fuck around, you’re gonna find out."

Meet the Writers Strike’s Secret Weapon: Hollywood Teamster Boss Lindsay Dougherty

“We are the hammer to their pencil”: How a woman who “gives no f--ks” is determined to unite entertainment industry labor.

@WillRobinson Her stance on this is impressive. In general, the studios will try to walk over everyone in turn so she’s helping out the people getting hit at the moment to hopefully raise the bar going forward. The more painful this becomes for the studios, the less likely it is to recur in the near term…
@WillRobinson This is such a good story!
@WillRobinson absolutely hero shit. That’s how you use worker solidarity.
@WillRobinson this is one of those people I’m glad is on our side and not the bosses side
