Guild of Taxi Drivers and Associated Workers (Minneapolis, Minn.).
The guild was organized in 1975 by dissident members of Teamsters Local 792 (Minneapolis, Minn.), who later (1976) joined the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks (BRAC). During that period the guild struggled to gain recognition from the cab companies. They also struggled for drivers' rights in other matters, mainly the leasing of cabs, a plan devised by the cab companies. The guild conducted a strike, which lasted from December 1975 to February 1976. Following the strike the guild's membership declined, which led to the amalgamation with BRAC. However, the guild was able to prevent the city council's move to abolish the anti-cab-leasing ordinances.
