Overview
This pinback represents truck drivers belonging to Teamsters Local 332 in Flint, Michigan. During this period the union operated under the formal name International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America and was affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL).
Dated June 1938, the badge reflects the period when organized labor was expanding rapidly across American industry. Flint had become nationally known for its labor movement following the 1936–1937 sit-down strikes that secured union recognition in General Motors plants.
Teamsters locals organized transportation workers such as truck drivers, delivery drivers, and chauffeurs. Buttons like this were commonly worn at union meetings, organizing campaigns, and labor gatherings as visible symbols of membership and solidarity among workers.
