Tomorrow the U.S. House will vote on the bipartisan Faster Labor Contracts Act. With this vote, it will be unequivocally clear who’s supporting American workers in both word and action — and who’s just paying lip service to get re-elected. The Faster Labor Contracts Act is THE bill. And now is the time. Are you standing with workers or are you standing in our way? #resultsnotexcuses. @HouseGOP@HouseDemocrats
AMAZON TEAMSTERS BECOME FIRST UNION TO WIN BARGAINING ORDER AGAINST E-COMMERCE GIANT
In a historic decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that Amazon illegally refused to recognize the Staten Island-based Amazon Labor Union-International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1 (ALU-IBT 1) and ordered it to begin negotiations with the Teamsters.
Over 5,000 warehouse workers at the JFK8 facility in Staten Island formed their union on April 1, 2022. In June 2024, they officially affiliated with the Teamsters Union, which officially chartered ALU-IBT Local 1. Over the past four years, NLRB has repeatedly found that Amazon has illegally and willfully ignored the union’s legitimacy while attempting to coerce JFK8 Teamsters into ending their organizing efforts.
"Four years ago, Amazon workers at JFK8 won an NLRB election. Now, on this monumental anniversary, they have become the first group ever to force the company to recognize their union, and they did so as Teamsters,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This fight is far from over but this ruling from the NLRB is an historic victory for Amazon Teamsters nationwide and a testament to worker power.”
Under the leadership of Political Director Dawn Schumann, the presence of Local 104 was felt throughout the Capitol all day long. We extend a special thank you to Representative Hernandez for her continued support of our members.
On Wednesday, IBT Local 104 made a powerful showing at the Arizona State Capitol. Our dedicated rank-and-file members—all of whom are members by choice—spent the day engaging directly with the legislative process. Our thanks to Rep. Alma Hernandez @almaforarizona for her support!
True power isn’t just found at the bargaining table; it’s found when our members stand together at the seat of government. Watching our rank-and-file leaders walk the halls of the Capitol reminds every legislator that Teamsters Local 104 is the backbone of Arizona’s economy.

The Teamsters applaud Senator Ruben Gallego for his support and letter to Kroger regarding the unjust termination of its contract with Ruan Transportation. Since the collapse of the proposed merger with Albertsons, Kroger has ramped up efforts to undermine its union workforce. Leading this anti-worker push is Ken Braunbach, Kroger’s Vice President of Transportation, who is an executive with a track record at anti-union corporations like Walmart and J.B. Hunt.
For over 26 years, Teamsters Local 104 members at Ruan have safely and reliably delivered products for Kroger. Now, the company is attempting to replace them with Swift, a move that threatens the hard-won standards Teamsters have built over decades.
