Public Face

Teamsters Local 710 represents freight drivers, dockmen, warehouse laborers, and delivery men working the Chicago arteries—especially in and around the stockyards, rail hubs, and canal lines. Officially, they’re about fair wages, safe work conditions, and the dignity of hard, honest labor. They hold rallies, post war memorials in the hall, and sponsor boxing nights at parish gyms.  

True Influence

Unofficially, 710 is the muscle behind the movement of everything from dry goods to dirty secrets. They control who loads, who ships, and when it gets there. They can lose a crate or delay a crucial campaign flyer drop with a quiet word. There are whispers of backdoor trucking routes used to move more than cargo—rumors of protected "cold freight" that runs chilled not for perishables, but preservation.  

Known Members

• Bruno “Stacks” Mirabelli, Secretary-Treasurer – Controls the books and the boys with equal force; rumored to have buried a CPD mole in a frozen meat truck.
• Dora Krawiec, Dock Steward – Broad-shouldered, chain-smoking, and sharper than a boxcutter; keeps a list of debts in her boot heel.
• “Big Eddie” Fazio, Route Boss – Knows every shortcut, bribe, and barricade in the city, including the ones that shouldn't be there.
• Franky “Numb” Leclair, Enforcer – Lost all feeling in his hands after a Veil-related accident; still breaks noses just fine.
• Mister Fox, Unknown Role – Shows up only when shipments go seriously sideways; nobody knows his first name, or if he’s even real.

 

Allies & Rivals

• Allies: Outfit-connected warehouse syndicates, certain Veil couriers, CPD officers on the take
• Rivals: Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks, Iron Workers Local 1, a breakaway dockworker cell called the "Midnight Pallet"

 

Assets & Quirks

• Asset: A half-dozen ghost addresses—warehouses not on any city grid that still receive shipments
• Quirk: Every 710 truck carries a relic in the glovebox: a rosary, a rabbit’s foot, or worse—“just in case the road don’t stay real.”
• Quirk: Their hall basement is off-limits, even to senior stewards. Some say it’s not the same basement every day.

 

Current Agenda

Local 710 is in a quiet war to control the cold freight lines through Back of the Yards. Several Outfit interests want in, but 710’s playing hardball. Meanwhile, they’re trying to clean up their public face before the next union elections—especially as whispers grow of Veil-imbued cargo vanishing en route.  

Rumors & Hooks

• A long-haul driver turned up in Ohio babbling about “riding behind something made of wires and whispers.” He hasn’t stopped shaking since.
• One of the ghost warehouses opened last week. Everything inside was labeled for 1963. It’s 1953.
• A 710 truck was hijacked—and the hijackers vanished. The truck returned on its own, empty, with chains that smelled like burnt ozone.
• Stacks Mirabelli is suspected of dealing with a Veil broker to keep certain spirits locked in freezer crates.
• Dora Krawiec sometimes speaks Polish in her sleep—problem is, it’s a dialect that hasn't existed since the 15th century.
• Someone's tagging 710 logos with red spirals. Nobody can scrub them off—not even with acid.
• PCs are hired to intercept a rival truck—but find it abandoned mid-turn, still warm, driver’s seat covered in frost and hairline cracks.
• The Crew finds a manifest from 710 detailing a delivery route through a nonexistent street grid. Delivery was completed anyway.
• A mid-level dispatcher is trying to defect—claims he saw something “come out the back of a trailer” and doesn’t want to end up next.
