Meetings and Structure

CRW_6269_0.jpgAnnual Rank & File Convention
Hundreds of Teamsters gather every year at the TDU Rank & File Convention to learn, set TDU’s course for the coming year and to elect TDU’s leadership. The Convention features educational workshops with union activists, labor educators, attorneys and other experts as well as interest meetings for Teamsters from the same employer or industry.

Teamsters for a Democratic Union is run by an elected steering committee of fifteen Teamster members, retirees and spouses. TDU members elect the International Steering Committee (ISC) each year at our Rank & File Convention. Four co-chairs are also elected each year at the Convention.
