Just today, the Teamsters Union has won five organizing victories, including Southern Glazer’s workers across Oklahoma, UPS admins and specialists in Tennessee, juvenile protective services workers in Illinois, and public sector workers in multiple townships across Ohio. Our organizing momentum will not be stopped.

Public sector Teamsters are the backbone of communities nationwide. Bright and early this morning, Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman visited with rank-and-filers in the utilities department for the City of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Throughout the city of Ft. Lauderdale, Teamsters Local 769 represents 1,000 public servants who inspect buildings, work in public safety, maintain water and sewers, and more. "Cities like Ft. Lauderdale don't run without the hard work of Teamsters," O'Brien said. "In Florida, public sector workers are under attack by anti-union politicians who think passing legislation targeting workers and requiring them to recertify their union every year is a good use of taxpayer dollars. Now, more than ever, the Teamsters are fighting back against anti-worker attacks in Florida and beyond to protect our public and private sector workers and their hard-earned benefits."

U.S. DISTRICT COURT GRANTS END TO 37-YEAR FEDERAL MONITORSHIP OF TEAMSTERS UNION After nearly four decades, the U.S. government has officially ended federal monitorship of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, following the approval by the Honorable Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York (Southern District) of a joint motion filed this summer by the union and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The filing issued on June 17 sought to amend the Final Order established in 2015 and the original Consent Decree policing the union. In 1989, the Southern District and the Teamsters entered into an agreement to eliminate organized crime influence within the union and ensure fair, democratic, member-driven elections. Over the past 37 years, the Teamsters have conducted nine elections and successfully eliminated corrupt elements from the union. Since the election of Sean M. O’Brien as Teamsters General President in 2021, the Teamsters have built a new system of rigorous checks and balances in which every member complaint is investigated, and when appropriate, referred to legal authorities. O’Brien was re-elected to a second term as General President this summer at the Teamsters 31st International Convention. In her ruling granting the motion, Judge Preska cited agreement by former federal judge Barbara Jones (ret.) — who has served as the Independent Review Officer monitoring the union — that the Teamsters indeed have “developed the institutional tools, processes, and procedures necessary to adequately detect, investigate, and resolve instances of major corruption.” “True history has been made today for the Teamsters Union that begins a new chapter of self-governance and organizational independence to benefit all rank-and-file members and elected leaders,” O’Brien said. “This is the end to the longest monitorship of any union, corporation, nonprofit, or public entity in the history of the United States. Our efforts over the past four years to create a culture of vigilance in our union have proven that we can police our own. The controls in place in the Teamsters today to operate a strong, transparent, and progressive union are more stringent than any labor organization in the country.” Judge Preska in her ruling reiterated that any concerns of potential corruption in the Teamsters or any union should always be referred to the U.S. Department of Labor and the DOJ — and that the court has no intention of being an indefinite monitor. “Generalized concerns regarding the Teamsters should be directed to the Teamsters management or these agencies, not this Court,” Judge Preska concluded.

Workers are organizing with the Teamsters in record numbers because everyone knows life’s better in North America’s strongest union. The Teamsters Union recently won six elections in one day, including print workers in Virginia, bus workers in Connecticut and New Hampshire, waste workers in Washington, and construction workers and mechanics in Minnesota.

TEAMSTERS CLINCH FIRST ORGANIZING WIN AT MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR CASINO COMPANY Boyd Gaming is one of the largest casino entertainment companies in the United States, but that didn’t stop Indiana workers from standing strong to secure Teamsters representation. The group of 20 slot attendants and dual rates at the Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa in Michigan City, Indiana, marched on the boss and then overwhelmingly voted to join Teamsters Local 135. “With a little bit of courage and a lot of heart, we were able to make our voices heard,” said Candace Todd, a slot attendant and proud new member of Local 135. “The company hired a union buster, held meetings, and tried to intimidate us, but they didn’t stand a chance. Nothing could ever break our solidarity.” The newly organized workers keep the casino floor running, maintaining over 1,600 slot machines and providing guest services. Now, they’re ready to fight for a fair first Teamsters contract.

🚨ST. LOUIS TEAMSTERS WIN STRIKE! 🚨 Teamsters Local 600 and Local 688 have won their strike at Breakthru Beverage in St. Louis and have ratified a strong agreement that secures longstanding contract protections. The workers stood on the picket line for over two months and demanded an end to the company’s unfair labor practices. “These workers showed just how powerful you can be when you do something together,” said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. “Management repeatedly tried to intimidate them, but they never broke and won a strong contract in return. Like the Teamsters in St. Louis, those in Cicero, Ill. with Local 710 were forced to strike. It is time for management to stop playing tricks and to come back to table to negotiate a fair agreement so that the members can return to work just like they did in St. Louis.”

TEAMSTERS LAND INDUSTRY-LEADING DEAL AT UNITED AIRLINES The Teamsters Union has reached an agreement in principle with United Airlines (UA) on a new contract for more than 11,000 mechanics and related employees nationwide, delivering a major victory after nearly two years of relentless bargaining and member-led contract action. The full bargaining committee, made up of UA business agents and rank-and-filers, voted 19-to-12 to recommend the agreement in principle to members for ratification. The victory secures industry-leading wage increases and clear job protections, accelerates progression to top pay from eight years to five, and delivers a $54 million signing bonus upon ratification, which will provide payments of $5,000 to each member. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters fully recommends ratification of this agreement. The contract breakthrough follows an aggressive campaign by the Teamsters Union. Throughout bargaining, Teamsters fought for an industry-leading agreement that reflects members’ critical work maintaining one of the largest airline fleets in the world and keeping millions of passengers safe. “For nearly two years, Teamsters at United stared down a multibillion-dollar corporation and demanded a contract worthy of their skills and the huge profits they generate,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Our members took on one of the biggest airlines in the world and won. This agreement will raise the bar for every airline worker in America. The Teamsters standard just went up again. We are proud to recommend this powerful, industry-leading contract.” The new agreement in principle secures significant gains for members, including: · A $54 million signing bonus upon ratification · Industry-leading wage increases · An accelerated wage progression to top-of-scale pay · Two-year extension of the Retiree Bridge Medical Plan · Expedited grievance and arbitration process The Teamsters UA committee will finalize language and provide members with final details as soon as possible. Once a tentative agreement is complete, members will have the opportunity to review the full contract and vote for ratification.
