Union → a Teamster →

Teamster strong

You're in one of the largest unions in the country, known for being the champion of freight drivers and warehouse workers, but in virtually every occupation imaginable. Your 1.3 million union siblings are public defenders in Minnesota; vegetable workers in California; brewers in St. Louis; newspaper workers in Seattle; health care workers, airline pilots, secretaries and police officers and more.

Your local is your first stop for contract questions, benefits, or getting more involved before the next fight. If you don't know your local, the International can point you to it. Use the link below. Note the map can be a bit funky, so we recommend scrolling down to find your local's website, phone number and physical address.

You can also check out the Teamsters for a Democratic Union, a grassroots organization of thousands of members across North America, working together to rebuild Teamster Power. For more than 45 years, TDU has been uniting Teamsters to put the union to work for members.

Solidarity never sleeps and neither does Labor Notes

If you're not already in touch with a shop steward or someone in your local union, that's the place to start. Take a minute now to find them.

Do you know a co-worker who's really involved in the union? You can text them to ask about the next upcoming meeting or how to get more involved.

Or if you're the really involved co-worker, make a plan to invite one of your less-involved co-workers to the next meeting. If you don't know where to start, you can ask co-workers you trust at work tomorrow, and/or you can search online (but don't let that be the end of your journey, find people in your union who can guide you on the next steps).

In addition to getting involved in your union, check out Labor Notes. If you're looking to build power at your workplace, sharpen your organizing skills, and connect with like-minded folks from around the world, Labor Notes is the place. Since 1979, Labor Notes has been building a network of rank-and-file members and labor leaders building a stronger labor movement. They host regular online trainings and in-person Troublemaker schools. Check out their upcoming events, sign up for their newsletter and get involved.
