The Teamsters are known as the champion of freight drivers and warehouse workers, but have organized workers in virtually every occupation imaginable, both professional and non-professional. Private sector and public sector.

Our 1.4 million members include truck drivers, warehouse workers, public defenders, vegetable workers, sanitation workers, brewers, newspaper workers, construction workers, zoo keepers, healthcare workers, bakery workers, airline pilots, secretaries, police officers, school bus drivers, school bus monitors, food service employees, custodians and more. You name the occupation and chances are we represent workers in that classification somewhere.

There are 568 Teamster locals throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Teamsters stand ready to organize workers who want to bargain collectively. Once a contract is negotiated and signed, the Union works to enforce it - holding management’s feet to the fire and invoking contract grievance procedures if management chooses not to. Wages and benefits under Teamster contracts are markedly better than those of non-union employees in similar jobs. Teamster contracts are the guarantors of decent wages, fair promotion, health coverage, job security, paid time-off and retirement income.

For a century the Teamsters have been a public voice for the rights and aspirations of working men and women and a key player in securing them.
