Initial Review[edit]

I really already did the hard part when I reviewed this article for B class. It had remarkably few issues. I will go over it once more to make sure nothing was missed. Djmaschek (talk) 04:34, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Union drivers[edit]

I looked up the term "black ban" and didn't find anything on-line that related to labor unions. Consequently, I still do not understand this sentence: "The subcontractor ran afoul of wartime regulations requiring the company to hire local drivers, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters threatened to ban the use of union drivers, citing safety issues." Again, why would the Teamsters Union resist the use of union drivers? Does this mean the Teamsters threatened to ban non-Teamsters Union drivers? Or did they want to ban non-union drivers? If this baffles me, I expect other readers will be equally puzzled. Djmaschek (talk) 04:54, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Google says a black ban is "a mass refusal to supply or purchase goods or services in an attempt to force a particular decision or action". It is referred to in our article on green bans, but not defined there. The teamsters placed a ban on union drivers ie said that they would not drive the trucks.

@Djmaschek: I've tweaked the wording to avoid confusion. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:51, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Review 1[edit]

This is GA class. The only issue (Union drivers) has been cleared up to my satisfaction. Everything else seems to be in order: well-written, verifiable, broad, neutral, stable, illustrated, citations, photos. Djmaschek (talk) 01:45, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
