Episode 12: Lindsay Dougherty, Business Agent, Teamster

August 23, 2016 by Julie Harris Oliver in entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood, women

Lindsay is a Business Agent and Organizer for Local 399 – Teamsters.  She is a second generation Teamster from Detroit.  That fact alone gives her some serious cred, and she is a rising leader within the Teamsters in her own right.  As a business agent, she negotiates contracts with Studios and producers and makes sure her members are treated fairly and paid well.  She is passionate about the labor movement.  So much so, it is tattooed all over her arms.  Lindsay is a force to be reckoned with.  A badass for sure.  She gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of a film set, the politics of labor, and what it’s like to be one of very few women in top leadership in The Brotherhood.  It often goes something like this, “Whose wife are you?”
