Some 1,400 Teamster service workers at the University of Minnesota won a resounding victory in a five-day walkout that showcased their militancy and underscored the power of solidarity.

“This is what happens when people stick together,” said Steve Tesfagiorgis, a shop steward and strike captain for Teamsters Local 320 and a senior custodian on the Minneapolis campus. “Our members are from different places and speak many different languages, and we all worked together and won.”

The union includes more than 400 East African workers. At rallies, on flyers, and during Zoom meetings, members communicated in five languages.
