Sandy clean-up: It's a tough job, and Teamsters are doing it

Parts of the Northeast are returning to normal today as Teamsters clear trees, repair rail tracks, clean up after flood damage, ship supplies and deliver those all-important iPhones and QVC purchases.

Two airports and the New York Stock Exchange reopened, and some Amtrak service was restored along the Northeast Corridor. But in hard-hit New Jersey, the National Guard is still looking for flood victims, fires are still burning and entire neighborhoods are buried under sand and seawater. Millions are without power as far away as Michigan, and 29 inches of snow fell on western Maryland.


Teamsters in Cambridge, Mass., cleaning up after the monster storm.

None of that stopped our brothers and sisters from getting 'er done at departments of public works and sanitation, the railroads and UPS. We relied on Twitter and Facebook to tell us how hard they're working up an down the coast. In the process, we found lots of appreciation for the DPW, sanitation and UPS Teamsters doing their job.

(We know we've left off plenty of hardworking Teamsters, but we hope to get to you as the clean-up continue.)
