The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced that 100,000 workers have joined the union since March 2022.

More than 100 Teamsters are on strike at the multinational Mauser Packaging Solutions plant in Chicago. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters extended picket lines to Los Angeles and Minnesota in June.

The late and legendary Teamsters reform leader Ron Carey briefly succeeded in a monumental task: turning around a corrupt and conservative union. Today’s aspiring reformers looking to revitalize their own unions can learn from his career.

The Teamsters Union said on Wednesday United Parcel Service "walked away" from negotiations over a new contract.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters scored a massive organizing victory for more than 1,100 DHL Express workers at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the country's largest and most powerful unions, has said in an official resolution that unionizing and building worker power at Amazon is the top priority moving forward.

A federal board would first have to approve a walkout. The catering workers, some of whom earn as little as $8.46 an hour, are asking for higher wage and less costly health insurance.

Teamsters for a Democratic Union lists “10 reasons to vote no” on the proposed contract on its web site. It says UPS’s offer contains “major concessions,” including two-tier “22.4 Hybrid Drivers” who will deliver ground freight for a lower pay rate.

The talk during the upcoming convention, according to Paff, will focus on winning strong contracts, converting part-time jobs into full-time work, boosting wages that start for some at $11 an hour and protecting pensions that have been under attack.
