Teamsters VOTE 2020

For that reason, leading up to the Primary Elections in Florida, Teamsters Local 769 has boots on the ground at workplaces throughout South Florida explaining how our brothers and sisters can educated themselves about the issues at stake and the candidates who have our backs.

Teamsters Local 769 Nails Enterprise Rent-A-Car for Back Dues

NLRB, 2016 BL 153618, D.C. Cir., No. 15-1200, 8/5/16 ).

Avis/Budget Employees WIN BIG!

Teamsters Local 769 would like to welcome our newest members from the Avis / Budget groups at the Miami and Fort Lauderdale Airport Locations.

This journey for these brave employees began almost one year ago (see story) and their strength and…
