Unfortunately, much of this dialogue is insipid and cliched. Worse, Teichmann's attempts at character development partially distort West's intent.

They also charged that Teamsters negotiated "sweetheart contracts" with growers. The Teamsters said they had thousands of petitions from workers who wanted Teamster representation...
