This is what solidarity looks like. Thank you @steelworkers. It’s time for Congress to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act now!

NEARLY 800 REPUBLIC AIRWAYS WORKERS JOIN TEAMSTERS

Airline Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) with Republic Airways have voted overwhelmingly to join the Teamsters, resulting in nearly 800 new members. They now join Republic Airways pilots and flight attendants who are already represented by the Teamsters Union.

The 777 newly organized AMTs are preparing to begin negotiations on a first contract that delivers industry-leading wages, strong benefits, and improved workplace protections that raise the standards at Republic Airways.

“Republic Airways AMTs are tired of being overlooked and are ready to stand together for the pay, protections, and respect they’ve earned,” said Dave Saucedo, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division. “These workers do critical, highly skilled work every single day to keep planes operating safely. By joining the Teamsters, they now have the power to hold Republic accountable and fight for a better future.”

Republic Services is the second biggest waste company in America. Last year, it raked in over $16.5 billion off the backs of its workers.

Over 750 Republic Teamsters have fought back against this corporation’s greed and secured strong new contracts in 2026!

This Memorial Day, the Teamsters Union honors the memory of all who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedom we enjoy each and every day.

BLET TEAMSTERS & UNION COALITION WIN HISTORIC STRIKE AT LIRR

Teamsters with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (@BLET) and their union coalition have reached a tentative agreement with Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) to end the carrier’s first strike in over three decades. The agreement provides workers with raises that maintain their standard of living while strengthening work rules and improving benefits.

“BLET Teamsters and their brothers and sisters across four other unions just showed this entire country what worker solidarity looks like in action,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “These union railroaders made it clear from the start they would not accept a deal that shortchanged them and undercut their standard of living. For three long days they bravely withheld their labor on picket lines across the New York metropolitan area. Every worker in America is reminded of what can be achieved through courage and conviction to fight for a better way of life.”

Thousands of workers from five unions were forced to strike by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) refusal to offer them a fair contract. BLET Teamsters and their coalition partners set up picket lines at major LIRR hubs immediately after midnight on Saturday, May 16.

“This victory was won by union members who stood their ground and refused to be pushed around,” said Mark Wallace, President of the BLET and the Teamsters Rail Conference. “Our coalition showed the MTA that railroad workers will fight for the respect, pay, and protections we’ve earned. Their unity and determination forced this railroad to finally deliver a fair agreement.”

The coalition spent years bargaining with the MTA for a new agreement. The process included two Presidential Emergency Boards that ruled in favor of the unions. In that time, workers went without raises as inflation ate away their standard of living.

The LIRR is the busiest commuter railroad in America, with 300,000 daily passengers. The Teamsters represent over 500 of the LIRR’s locomotive engineers.

Public sector Teamsters don’t just work in city or county government. They maintain roads, teach in schools, build bridges, protect and serve the public, and much more.

Join us in thanking these public servants during Public Services Recognition Week!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Teamsters are the backbone of cities, counties, and communities across North America. Public sector workers have an indescribable impact on your everyday life.

The Teamsters Union is proud to represent these workers and to celebrate them during Public Services Recognition Week.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

More than 210,000 public sector workers across North America are Teamsters.

In 48 states and territories, it's Teamsters who make everyday life better. In cities and counties, at public schools and universities, in law enforcement, in the firehouse, and in emergency services, Teamsters perform just about every job you can think of.

The Teamsters Union is proud to recognize and represent North America’s essential workers during Public Services Recognition Week.

State workers and retirees launch 'Scrap the Cap' campaign against proposed health insurance cost shifts https://t.co/lMUYuzJ3if

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

The average KY school bus driver makes $15,364/yr. At that income they've received *nothing* from reducing the state's income tax. But under the House budget, their healthcare costs would soar $6,422/yr.

KY's richest 1%? They're getting $27,482/yr from the state income tax cuts.

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

Health insurance premiums for state and school employees could explode by *78%* because of language added to the House budget, having a "devastating impact on all...members and their dependents," according to a new letter from the Personnel Cabinet & reported by @_AustinHorn 1/

200 casino workers at Horseshoe Indianapolis are taking power into their own hands and striking to win recognition of Teamsters Local 135 as their union.

These hardworking men and women helped Horseshoe Indianapolis rake in $336 million in revenue last year and will remain on the picket line until the casino gives them the respect they are owed.

Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien will testify on Wednesday, Oct. 8, during the HELP Committee’s hearing on federal labor law reform in the U.S. Senate.

The Teamsters Union is leading a campaign and working across the aisle to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, a simple and straightforward bipartisan proposal to guarantee workers a fast first union contract.

When passed, the desperately needed legislation will be one the most consequential bills put forward to help American workers in generations: https://t.co/txgJOS1w6b

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Amazon knows that we have the power. The company illegally fired over 100 unionized drivers at DBK4 last month to intimidate us and threaten our collective strength.

What Amazon doesn't know is that we will fight tooth and nail to protect our jobs, our communities, and our families. We will continue to build worker power at Amazon until our union is recognized and we get a union contract.

Republic Services workers represented by Teamsters Local 25 have won an historic strike against the multibillion-dollar waste corporation, ratifying a new contract by a powerful 92 percent margin.

“Republic Services torched tens of millions of dollars to force this unnecessary strike and drag it out in a failed attempt to break our members’ solidarity. Republic forced hundreds of thousands of regular, hardworking people living in Boston to suffer all summer long. But Boston Teamsters don’t break — ever — and we’ve ratified an incredible new agreement,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Republic should be ashamed of its corporate greed. Every Teamster should be proud of their backbone and commitment to fight for what’s right.”

Republic forced more than 400 members of Local 25 out on strike on July 1. After nearly three months on the picket line, Republic Teamsters have now locked in raises of 46 percent over the life of the five-year contract and additional substantial improvements to health benefits.

“I’ve never been prouder of a group of Teamsters in my life. Our members stood strong for 82 days to send a message to Republic and to greedy employers across the country. Never once did the Teamsters waiver in our shared mission to protect one another on the job, increase wages, and improve benefits,” said Tom Mari, President of Local 25. “This is an extremely strong contract, and our members are looking forward to going back to work on Monday. It’s finally time to get back to serving the communities we live in and care about so much. Boston Teamsters thank our city for their love, compassion, and support throughout this fight.”

Dozens of Republic Teamsters in Cumming, Ga., represented by Teamsters Local 728, remain on strike against the waste giant and have extended picket lines to Columbus, Ohio. This has resulted in a work stoppage affecting more than 80 workers. Teamsters in Georgia and Ohio will remain on picket lines against Republic until they are offered a fair new agreement.

“There’s a good chance you heard about me on the news last year. I’m the UPS driver who almost died when I fainted at the wheel from heat exhaustion and crashed my truck into a tree. I still work at UPS as a proud member of Teamsters Local 767. But if the company doesn’t keep its promise to give me A/C, there’s no telling if I’ll make it through another Texas summer.”

Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien published an op-ed sounding the alarm as Big Tech tries to sneak a 10-year ban on AI and automation regulation into the budget reconciliation bill.

Read it here: https://t.co/PjfdwcL7Fs

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Tell your Senators to oppose and remove the AI moratorium in the budget reconciliation bill, which would prohibit states from regulating AI and automation for 10 years.

If the moratorium language stays in the reconciliation bill and this ban goes through, it will be one of the largest federal takeovers of state power in U.S. history.

Take action today to stand up to Big Tech’s attempt to strip all 50 states of their rights: https://t.co/jWPc6cFATt

Teamsters are outside General Motors plants today, calling out the company for using nonunion carhaulers — a direct attack on union jobs and the standards we’ve all fought to raise.

When UAW workers went on strike, Teamsters carhaulers refused to cross the picket line. Now, GM is threatening all of us by outsourcing this work to nonunion carriers that do not pay the area standard.

Tell GM: Respect union labor. Stop using nonunion carhaulers. Sign the petition - https://t.co/FwMFmVCMgw
