TEAMSTERS RELEASE PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT POLLING DATA “For the past year, the Teamsters Union has pledged to conduct the most inclusive, democratic, and transparent Presidential endorsement process in the history of our 121-year-old organization—and today we are delivering on that promise to our members,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Our members are the union, and their voices and opinions must be at the forefront of everything the Teamsters do. Our final decision around a possible Presidential endorsement will not be made lightly, but you can be sure it will be driven directly by our diverse membership.” The Teamsters have not yet endorsed any candidate for U.S. President. The union’s General Executive Board expects to announce a decision on Wednesday.

O’BRIEN, TRUMP DISCUSS TEAMSTER ISSUES AHEAD OF RANK-AND-FILE ROUNDTABLE Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien met privately with President Donald Trump on Wednesday for an in-depth and productive discussion on worker issues most important to the Teamsters Union. The former President committed to sit down with rank-and-file Teamsters, General President O’Brien, and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman in January during another critical Presidential roundtable with union members. The upcoming roundtable will be held in Washington, D.C., at the Teamsters’ international headquarters. “There are serious issues that need to addressed to improve the lives of working people across the country, and the Teamsters Union is making sure our members’ voices are heard as we head into a critical election year,” O’Brien said. “We thank the former President for taking time during this private meeting to listen to the Teamsters’ top priorities. And we are eager to bring together the rank-and-file for an important and necessary roundtable with President Trump this month.” Additional details will be announced soon as the Teamsters’ rank-and-file Presidential roundtable meetings continue. #Teamsters

TEAMSTERS LAUNCH LARGEST STRIKE AGAINST AMAZON IN AMERICAN HISTORY The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.” Workers will join the picket line from DBK4 in New York City; DGT8 in Atlanta; DFX4, DAX5, and DAX8 in Southern California; DCK6 in San Francisco; and DIL7 in Skokie, Ill. Amazon Teamsters at other facilities are prepared to join them. Teamsters local unions are also putting up primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide. Amazon warehouse workers and drivers without collective bargaining agreements have the legal right to honor these picket lines by withholding their labor. “What we’re doing is historic,” said Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker at DCK6 in San Francisco. “We are fighting against a vicious union-busting campaign, and we are going to win.” Amazon is the second-largest corporation on the Fortune 500 list. Despite being worth more than $2 trillion, the company fails to pay its workers enough to make ends meet. “Amazon is one of the biggest, richest corporations in the world,” said Gabriel Irizarry, a driver at DIL7 in Skokie, Ill. “They talk a big game about taking care of their workers, but when it comes down to it, Amazon does not respect us and our right to negotiate for better working conditions and wages. We can’t even afford to pay our bills.” Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers have mobilized a movement and joined the Teamsters. They are fighting for higher wages, better benefits, and safer conditions at work. “I’ve seen the Teamsters win big battles,” said Dia Ortiz, a worker at DBK4 in New York. “We’re ready to do what it takes to win this one.”

Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien met today with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, United CEO Scott Kirby, and representatives from the airline industry to discuss how the government shutdown is hurting aviation operations and workers nationwide. The Teamsters Union represents 10,000 mechanics at United Airlines alone, in addition to countless others being impacted by the ongoing shutdown. Just as he did one month ago, O’Brien urged Congress to pass a clean short-term funding bill to defend American workers and immediately reopen the government. “I represent 1.3 million working men and women in this country. At the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, we took a position weeks ago: pass a clean CR. Get to the table. Negotiate a deal,” O’Brien said. “Do not put working people in the middle of a problem they should not be involved in.”

"In my more than 40 years in Louisville representing members at Worldport — the largest UPS hub in the country — I have never seen a national contract that levels the playing field for workers so dramatically as this one...

“UPS came dangerously close to putting itself on strike, but we kept firm on our demands," said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman...

UPS VIOLATES TEAMSTERS NATIONAL CONTRACT WITH PLAN FOR BUYOUTS United Parcel Service (UPS) is expected to unveil an illegal plan later this month to buyout full-time employees represented by the Teamsters, a corporate scheme that will directly violate the union’s national contract protecting 340,000 delivery workers. The multibillion-dollar company’s Driver Voluntary Severance Plan (DVSP), which UPS has not yet publicly disclosed, would offer cash to drivers to initiate early retirement or quit their job. The DVSP, likely to be announced to workers in the coming weeks, would leave most drivers without quality health insurance if they retire under the program and would undermine UPS’s own legal commitment to create 22,500 more jobs under its current Teamsters contract. “UPS is trying to weasel its way out of creating good union jobs here in America by dangling insulting buyouts in front of Teamsters drivers. It is an illegal violation of our national contract,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “UPS is obligated to establish tens of thousands of new full-time jobs under the agreement. But CEO Carol Tomé and UPS’s corporate managers are hoping that if they offer paltry severance packages to enough workers, no one will notice the company is setting the union’s contract on fire. UPS Teamsters work too damn hard to be treated with such disrespect.” Proposed cash offers would be far less than what rank-and-file Teamsters now earn and could continue to make over the life of the current agreement. Teamsters contracts have long ensured that UPS drivers employed 30 years or more receive employer-paid health care throughout retirement, a strong union benefit that would not be guaranteed to all workers under UPS’s severance plan. The historic five-year agreement that UPS Teamsters ratified in August 2023 guaranteed the company would fill at least 22,500 permanent full-time jobs with existing part-time workers and create at least 7,500 additional full-time jobs during the final three years of the contract. Last week, the Teamsters Union formally requested data from UPS on the status of open positions, as well as the rate of delivery of package cars and vans equipped with air conditioning. Article 18 of the Teamsters contract requires UPS to provide no less than 28,000 air-conditioned vehicles to drivers by 2028. The union gave the company until July 1 to respond to the information request, but UPS has not provided any data and instead requested additional time to respond. The company’s expected announcement of the DVSP would arrive as UPS is failing to live up its commitments to provide heat relief to some of America’s most essential workers. The Teamsters are also seriously evaluating whether UPS has recently begun diverting some delivery work to nonunion affiliates. “Our members cannot be bought off and we will not allow them to be sold out. The Teamsters are prepared to fight UPS on every front with every available resource to shut down this illegal buyout program,” O’Brien said. “UPS needs to live up to the existing contract. They must honor their commitments, just as Teamsters do every day, reliably delivering packages to hundreds of millions of Americans. Profits are not more important than people, not at UPS or any other employer.” In 2020, UPS offered similar buyouts at the corporate level in an effort to further maximize profits by trimming payroll costs for middle managers. “Rank-and-file UPS Teamsters are strongly encouraged to remember that we have the protections of our contract at the end of the day. We have the ability to fight back. We cannot and will not be kicked around,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. “All drivers should reject this illegal and insulting buyout when UPS makes it public. UPS has forced buyouts on its own management in the past. They can’t force anything on us. Carol Tomé can screw over her own team. But she’s not gonna push around the Teamsters.”

Corrupt politicians in the pockets of big business have a clear vision for America's future

The Teamsters strike against Amazon has expanded and strengthened—and Amazon fears the growing workers movement. Teamsters fight until we win and this fight for union recognition and a Teamsters contract at Amazon will be won.

The following is a statement from Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien on the failure of the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) to present an acceptable contract offer to the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA): “The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, including our members in the freight industry, stand in full solidarity with the International Longshoremen’s Association as they fight for a fair and just contract with the ocean carriers represented by USMX. “The ocean carriers are on strike against themselves after failing to negotiate a contract that recognizes the value of these workers. Our ILA brothers and sisters play a critical role in keeping the American economy running, and they deserve industry-leading wages and robust job protections for the vital work they perform. “The U.S. government should stay the f**k out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned. Any workers—on the road, in the ports, in the air—should be able to fight for a better life free of government interference. Corporations for too long have been able to rely on political puppets to help them strip working people of their inherent leverage. “Don’t forget—Teamsters do not cross picket lines. The Teamsters Union is 100 percent committed to standing with our Longshoremen brothers and sisters until they win the contract they deserve.”

Amazon Teamsters Win Monumental NLRB Ruling: Amazon Drivers are Amazon Workers! Amazon delivery drivers represented by Teamsters Local 396 in Palmdale, Calif., won a groundbreaking decision that sets the stage for Amazon delivery drivers across the country to organize with the Teamsters. After more than a year-long investigation, National Labor Relations Board Region 31 (NLRB) found that Amazon is a joint employer of its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) drivers, and therefore has a legal duty to recognize and bargain with the Teamsters Union. Amazon began hiring DSP drivers in 2018 with the launch of its DSP program, quickly becoming one of the country’s largest delivery companies. Amazon has avoided responsibility for its drivers through its DSP subcontractor business model, claiming DSP drivers are not official employees of Amazon. The NLRB’s joint employer determination shatters that myth and makes clear that through its DSP business model, Amazon exercises widespread control over drivers’ labor and working conditions, making Amazon the drivers’ employer. The Teamsters are confident the NLRB’s regional determination for the Palmdale workers will extend to Amazon DSP drivers who unionize nationwide. There are nearly 280,000 DSP drivers across the country and the Teamsters are organizing nationwide so every Amazon driver can have a fighting union in their corner with the Teamsters. The battle to organize Amazon is labor’s great challenge of the 21st century — and it’s a fight the Teamsters will win.
