Scene notes: Teamster Taxi. These notes describe the visible record; they are not a word-for-word transcript of the English audio.
- Opening: the Western Washington Taxi Cab Operators Association / Teamster Taxi Cab banner.
- Driver interviews: taxi operators speak near Seattle’s waterfront. An on-screen caption identifies P. K. as a seven-year Seattle taxi cab operator. That description belongs to the historical film.
- Closing: drivers gather behind the association’s banner. The film records an organising moment, not a current meeting or application invitation.
