Local 135 President Dustin Roach announced he will be joining the 2026 O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United Slate as a candidate for Central Region Vice President.

Roach became a principal officer at Local 135 after an insurgent campaign to win new leadership in the 13,000-member local. Local 135 represents members in over a dozen Teamster divisions.

Since taking office, Roach has ramped up membership involvement and taken a militant approach with employers.
