Being a Teamster Daughter gave you rights and privileges that other kids in the neighborhood didn't have, like having our own telephone line. We couldn't tie up the main line in case any important Teamster phone calls came through.

Unfortunately during strikes we also received many untraceable threatening phone calls. Once Teamster Daughter #3 answered the phone and the caller threatened to blow our house up if Teamster Dad crossed a picket line. This resulted in Teamster Dad tapping his own phone line for years to come.

We couldn't tell our friends and hoped they wouldn't say anything incriminating during our conversations.

Once Teamster Daughter #1 and #3 broke into one of Teamster Dad's safe in hopes of retrieving incriminating tape of close relative phone confessional.
