Teamsters are taking coordinated strike action at Republic Services to fight for fair pay and strong contracts at one of the largest private sanitation companies in North America.

UPS is blindsiding members and our union with a buyout scheme that violates the contract and the law. Here's why it’s happening and what you need to know.

UPS management only pays lip service to safety. But you can turn that around by using the company’s words and policies to enforce your right to slow down and take additional breaks when you’re working in extreme heat. 

Extreme temperatures will affect 255 million people across the United States this week. UPS Teamsters can take action to protect ourselves and our coworkers. Order materials from TDU and read below to learn how to enforce your heat safety rights.

The TDU Convention will be held November 7-9 in Chicago.

Today, TDU honors the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth, a holiday marking the end of slavery. For the labor movement, Juneteenth represents the fight against the cruelest forms of labor exploitation and racial oppression.

The two-year process for electing Teamster International Union officers is underway. Here is what you need to know about the process and how to participate.

Rail Teamsters who work as Transit Locomotive Engineers at New Jersey Transit are preparing to strike if the carrier fails to deliver a fair contract by May 16. The engineers voted down a tentative agreement last month, with 87 percent voting no.
