Historic Moment for South Florida TNBC

A milestone event for the South Florida chapter of the TNBC and a historic moment for Teamsters Local 769 occurred this past weekend. On Sunday, May 24, 2015 the very first South Florida TNBC Executive Board was sworn in and we are proud to officially announce the "South Florida Teamsters Nation Black Caucus". At the 1971 Teamsters convention right here in Miami, a small group of black delegates, guests and friends attending the convention, met to discuss the lack of black participation in the convention. Since then, the TNBC serves to uphold the principles of the Teamsters’ movement and to…

1st AmeriGas CSR Contract

On March 10, 2015, the Customer Service Representatives at AmeriGas in Broward voted unanimously to ratify their very first contract. Back in November of 2014, the CSR's had voted for Teamster representation at the Broward County facility. The main reasons were that they were looking to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace and they were seeking the addition of the grievance procedure to ensure job security. 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…

D.R.I.V.E. is How We Fight!

You know why we fight, D.R.I.V.E. is how we fight. One of the biggest challenges faced by the modern working man or woman is political representation. All too often today, their elected officials are swayed by the financial power of corporations and their lobbyists and many elected representatives do a poor job standing up for the needs of the voters who put them in office. The Teamsters have been fighting for working people for decades. The Union has championed the cause of working people on the picket lines, at the negotiating table and through the creation of D.R.I.V.E. Big Business…

Election Day – Cast Your Vote for Labor

Election day is here and it's time for the voice of the people to be heard. As Union members, it's your chance to make sure that the needs of working families are addressed. There is simply too much at risk as General President Hoffa said, "Hardworking Americans saw what happened when too many people didn't show up four years ago. The mass influx of anti-worker elected officials voted into office created a system that is crushing the middle class. And that will only get worse if a new bunch of corporate cronies get added to the mix." We all need to…
