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 encompasses both the Rental Representatives and the Customer Service Representatives at both locations. The employees at these locations voted unanimously to ratify their first contract which officially makes them new Teamsters. 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…

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…

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

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…
