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.

It is a long-standing policy of Teamsters Local 769 to not collect dues from any group that has voted for Teamster representation until they ratify their first contract. This journey for these brave employees began almost one year ago (see story) and their strength and…

1st AmeriGas CSR Contract

On March 10, 2015, the Customer Service Representatives at AmeriGas in Broward voted unanimously to ratify their very first contract.

Some of the employees working at this location have been employed for over 15 years. These brave workers become the first AmeriGas Customer Service Representatives to unionize and ratify their first contract in…

Local 769 in the Community

Teamsters don't just fight for improvements or equality in the workplace, they are also active within their communities to make life a little better for all.

Thanks to the efforts of members and stewards from the City of Key West, Monroe County, UPS and Monroe County Sheriff's Office we received the following message of thanks for doing what Teamsters do. "Last year with the help of groups like the Teamsters, we were…

Teamsters Local 769 Helps Saves Lives

On Saturday January 17, 2015, Teamsters Local 769 hosted its first ever CPR class at the Miami Union hall.

Union members are the safest, most highly trained workers in their industries and having the correct training to respond to an emergency can sometimes be the difference between life and death. During the class, members received training on C.P.R., B.L.S. (basic life support) and A.E.D. Defibrillator training such as what to do when…
