This summer, 8,600 Teamsters approved a new contract at ABF that includes wage increases of $6.50 over five years, higher pension and health and welfare contributions, two more sick days, and MLK Day as a paid holiday.
The new contract also secured protections against technology, including cameras, autonomous vehicles, or shifting and other freight transportation without Teamster drivers/operators.
General President Sean O’Brien and Mayor Zohran Mamdani rallied with Amazon workers, Teamsters, and community supporters on the steps of New York City Hall to demand a vote on the Delivery Protection Act.
The Teamsters joined the United Autoworkers (UAW) and five other international unions representing members at the largest U.S. defense contracts in a letter calling on Congress to ban defense contractors from funneling money to Wall Street investors through stock buybacks and dividends instead of investing in jobs and infrastructure.
