The decline of Teamsters follows a decline in trucking pay and working conditions. A Business Insider analysis showed that median wages for truck drivers have decreased 21% on average since 1980. In some areas, they've declined as much as 50%. In 1977, the mean earnings of a unionized truck driver stood at $96,552 in 2018 dollars. The median earning of a truck driver now stands at $42,480.
Viscelli said a major benefit unions provide, along with fighting for contracts with fair wages and benefits, is unified messaging during strikes. That ensures the public and government officials, along with the truckers' employers, can understand the key issues that employees face.

If "Black Smoke Matters" succeeds, it wouldn't be the first time naysayers were proved wrong.
