Nationwide Teamsters Strike Shuts NBC Studios and San Francisco Sites
A historic nationwide Teamsters walkout disrupts NBC television operations and threatens San Francisco’s waterfront and airport. Gunfire and violence erupt as about 400,000 truckers and city workers, drivers hauling Anheuser Busch beer, and NBC technicians strike coast to coast. Negotiators press for meaningful talks to end the three day city worker walkout, while emergency services keep essential operations running. The Transportation Department warns a prolonged strike could idle a million workers and cost hundreds of millions weekly.
