PENSKE TEAMSTERS IN FLORIDA AND MISSOURI AUTHORIZE STRIKE

Ahead of a June 30 contract expiration, Penske workers represented by Teamsters Locals 79, 512, 541, 618, and 769 have taken an overwhelming strike authorization. The nearly 250 Penske Teamsters are covered by the Southcentral and Southeastern Regional Master Agreements.

In addition to making insulting proposals, Penske has engaged in illegal, regressive bargaining with the most recent example happening today when they significantly changed the health care proposal that both parties had already tentatively agreed to.

Negotiations are scheduled to continue through June 30. If an agreement is not reached, Teamsters at Penske will be forced to strike.

“Penske is a multibillion-dollar corporation that can more than afford to offer Teamsters a fair contract,” said Rocco Calo, Director of the Teamsters Industrial Trades Division. “Penske is trying to place the costs and burdens of their mismanagement onto the backs of Teamsters by denying them fair wage increases, proposing pension freezes, and rejecting a fair attendance system they already have in place. Teamsters won’t stand for it, and this strike authorization should make that abundantly clear to Penske leadership.”

O’BRIEN, ZUCKERMAN REELECTED TO SECOND FIVE-YEAR TERM LEADING TEAMSTERS

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced today that Sean M. O’Brien and Fred Zuckerman have been reelected to another five-year term as General President and General Secretary-Treasurer, respectively, renewing a mandate for powerful, militant leadership on behalf of 1.3 million rank-and-file Teamsters across North America.

The O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United slate was elected by white ballot at the union’s 31st International Convention in Las Vegas following a secret ballot vote of 1,572 delegates. All voting delegates were democratically elected to the convention by rank-and-file members from more than 330 local unions across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. No opposition candidates received enough votes to meet the Teamsters’ constitutionally required threshold to challenge the O’Brien-Zuckerman team.

“This victory belongs to rank-and-file Teamsters. When we were sworn into office four years ago, our leadership team committed to building a bigger, faster, stronger union, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. We’ve organized more than 100,000 new members, won historic agreements including a record contract for 340,000 members at UPS, and put rank-and-file members back in the driver’s seat. The Teamsters is now the most aggressive, effective, and respected labor union on Earth,” O’Brien said. “Over the next five years, we have a lot of work ahead of us. The Teamsters face big fights at UPS and Amazon, and we are prepared to tackle those head on with the militancy and organization that has defined our administration. We will keep growing and never stop working for the members.”

“The Teamsters are stronger, more secure, and more prepared to take on greedy employers than at any point in our 123-year history. We have more than $1 billion in total assets, and our Strike and Defense Fund stands at approximately $365 million, providing the ammunition to take on the boss and protect our members,” Zuckerman said. “The Teamsters have accomplished so much to expand our ranks, exert real political influence, and safeguard our members in an ever-evolving economy. But we’re just getting started. The future is bright and the state of the union is strong in the Teamsters.”

O’Brien is a fourth-generation Teamster from Local 25 in Charlestown, Mass. Zuckerman joined the Teamsters more than four decades ago as a rank-and-file member in Houston and later went on to lead Local 89 in Louisville, Ky. Together, they bring an aggressive grassroots approach to taking on employers and prioritizing member involvement in the union.

Over the next five years, O’Brien and Zuckerman have pledged to continue the fight at UPS and Amazon, strengthen Teamsters density in core industries, defend and improve contracts across every division of the union, and build even bigger bipartisan coalitions to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and other legislation to benefit working people.
The O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United slate will take the oath of office in March 2027.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is proud to honor World Autism Awareness Day and April as Autism Awareness Month.

Since our founding in 1903, the Teamsters have led the charge to win respect and equality in the workplace for all workers, including those living with autism. Under the leadership of General President Sean M. O’Brien, the Teamsters have raised millions in charitable donations for autism awareness through Teamsters Local 25’s Annual Light Up the Night Autism Gala and other fundraisers.

Through the work of the Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity Commission, we are dedicated to ending the disparities Teamsters and their family members with autism face in access to education, employment, and health care. Our union and workplaces around the nation are stronger when all physical and cultural qualities are treated with dignity and respect.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is proud to celebrate March as Women’s History Month as we honor the sacrifices and achievements of women in our union and our nation.

Since our founding in 1903, women have played a crucial role in the growth and success of the Teamsters Union and the broader labor movement. Women labor leaders participated in the very first Teamsters convention and since then have led the Teamsters Union to the forefront of fighting for gender equality in the workplace and society.

Every day, Teamsters women who serve as local presidents, business agents, stewards, and rank-and-file members fight and win the best contracts for workers of all backgrounds in all industries. This month and throughout the year, the Teamsters Union celebrates the selfless women who make our union stronger and improve the lives of 1.3 million Teamsters families across the country.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters sends its deepest condolences to the family of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., a pillar in the civil rights and labor movements for more than 50 years.

Rev. Jackson understood the bond between civil and workplace rights and supported Teamsters in all industries in the fight for dignity and respect on the job. Rev. Jackson stood proudly with Teamsters during contentious contract campaigns, including the 1997 UPS national strike and with United Airlines mechanics in 2016. In 2011, he spoke at Teamsters Local 413 in Columbus, Ohio, in support of unionization and against right-to-work legislation.

Rev. Jackson will be remembered for his tireless commitment to equality in the workplace and society at-large. The Teamsters Union mourns his loss but celebrates his life.

During the month of February, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters proudly celebrates Black History Month and honors the sacrifices African Americans have made to our union, the greater labor movement, and our nation.

Since our founding in 1903, the Teamsters have fought to expand racial equality in the workplace and broader society. Teamsters were among the first to advocate against “color lines” in the labor movement, which had segregated unions in the early 20th century, and fight for equal pay provisions in contracts as early as 1917. Teamsters also marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, forming a special relationship that we continue to honor through the dedicated work of the Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity Commission.

Black History is Teamsters History. The Teamsters are committed to uplifting Black voices in our union and educating members and their families on the important relationship between labor and civil rights.
