Happy Holidays from your brothers and sisters in Teamsters for a Democratic Union.
It was an exciting year for the rank-and-file movement to take back our union. Now it’s time to rest up, enjoy the holidays, and gear up for the fight in 2017.
The Teamsters are backing the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), a new bill introduced by Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) that would require employers to start contract negotiations with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union.
NLRB Board member Gwynne Wilcox has been reinstated, restoring the Board's quorum and enabling it to resume issuing decisions about violations of workers' rights to organize.
