Today in 1919
Seventeen workers in the area die when a large molasses storage tank in Boston’s North End neighborhood bursts, sending a 40-foot wave of molasses surging through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour. In all, 21 people died and 150 were injured. The incident is variously known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, the Great Molasses Flood and the Great Boston Molasses Tragedy. Some residents claim that on hot summer days, the area still smells of molasses.

Local voter registration drive underway
Posted On: Aug 31, 2012


Aug. 2, 2012 | Efforts are under way at Teamster locals and Joint Councils nationwide to register voters and increase participation in this year's election. It is especially important for all of us to be voters this fall because opponents of labor are still mounting an all-out war on us. During the month of August we'll be visiting your shop where you'll have the opportunity to not only register to vote, but also sign up for DRIVE and Maryland Teamsters PAC. The schedule for our larger shops is here. If your shop isn't on the list, contact your business agent at 410-566-5700 for schedule and more information.
