By winning record contracts and organizing 100,000 new members in the last few years alone, the Teamsters are charting a new historic chapter.
The Teamsters rank-and-file power can defeat anything and anyone.
We are corporate greed’s worst nightmare.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced today that 100,000 workers have joined the union since March 2022, marking one of the most successful organizing periods in modern labor history and underscoring the growing demand for strong union representation across the U.S. and Canada.
The milestone is the result of an aggressive organizing strategy led by Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, who have made union growth a top priority and invested heavily in organizing, bargaining, and contract enforcement.
"If anyone is still questioning whether the Teamsters are breaking through, they're not paying attention. We're negotiating record contracts, building powerful bipartisan coalitions, and organizing more than 100,000 new members,” O’Brien said. “The old complacent guard that ran this union before us spent a decade organizing 50,000 workers, and we've doubled that in just four years. You don't see this kind of growth, energy, or militancy anywhere else in the labor movement. The Teamsters are coming for what our members deserve — so get out of our way.”
The Teamsters’ growth has extended far beyond traditional industries. While the union continues to expand in freight, warehousing, delivery, and logistics, tens of thousands of new members have organized in sectors including health care, public services, cannabis, and Amazon. The union is also expanding through internal organizing in Southern “right to work” states, and negotiating neutrality agreements at employers including DHL, American Red Cross, and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
“There’s no stronger union in North America than the Teamsters. If workers want the best contracts, the highest wages, the most reliable benefits and protections on the job, they need to become Teamsters today and join the 100,000 new members we’ve organized in just four years,” Zuckerman said. “We are protecting one another and holding corrupt, greedy corporations accountable. This is just the beginning of a brighter future for this organization.”
The organizing surge includes victories at major companies throughout North America, including UPS, DHL, Costco, Sysco, UNFI, the American Red Cross, and hundreds of smaller employers. It also reflects the Teamsters’ continued success organizing younger workers who are driving a new generation of rank-and-file militancy across nearly every industry.
Workers have the right to a collective bargaining agreement after they vote to form their union. Current labor law is full of loopholes that employers exploit to drag out negotiations for years. On average, American workers are forced to wait 458 days to secure a first union contract.
Teamsters and millions of workers across the country are done waiting. Real reform is needed now. Last month, by building a bipartisan coalition, the Teamsters Union worked with 218 members of Congress to sign a discharge petition, bypassing House leadership to bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act to the floor for a vote.
The vote in Congress is now upon us. Tell your member of Congress to “VOTE YES” and pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act: https://t.co/vxbrvofWjn

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.”
