Originally it referred to a worker who drove a horse and buggy or something similar. Since then, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has expanded to include workers in a lot of other industries, and the word has become synonymous with unions and corruption, since it used to have ties to organized crime. Jimmy Hoffa was head of the Teamsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the truck drivers' union, but a lot more too. Veiled organized crime syndicate. Jimmy Hoffa is buried underneath Giants Stadium.

That makes the renaming even more dumber than before; trying to make crime synonymous with coolness and bad-assery. Now it's like dirty joke told by a :censored:ty comedian thinking edgy jokes are funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing from your location that you aren't North American, but the US sort of glamorizes and romanticizes the Mafia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
