Hoffa has appointed Kris Taylor from Dallas Local 745 to negotiate the UPS Freight contract.  UPS Freight Teamsters need to be ready to fight for a good contract, because their lead negotiator will not be.

Alex Adams, a former member of the TDU Steering Committee and founding member of the Northeast Ohio Committee to Protect Pensions, was presented with a 'Citizen of the Year' award by the City of Maple Heights Ohio on September 6.

UPS is moving ahead with plans to hire drivers to make deliveries with their own cars. Our union needs to draw a line in the sand.

In a letter to the General President in response to his firing, Sean O'Brien blasts Hoffa for sabotaging the contract fight at UPS and letting "political hacks" run the union. 

Hoffa has removed Sean O’Brien as the head of the Teamster Package Division and as the union’s lead contract negotiator at UPS and UPS Freight, saying the union needs to move in “another direction.”

This Labor Day, TDU stands in solidarity with fellow Teamsters and workers everywhere who are uniting to take on corporate greed and fight for a just society.

The IBT issued a memo announcing the decision regarding the YRC multi-region proposed change of operations.

Should the Teamsters Union be run democratically? Or by one man and his hired staffers?

The events in Charlottesville have aroused the conscience of our country and the world. TDU condemns the racism and violence of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the KKK, today and everyday. We stand in solidarity with the victims of the violence and their families. We are more determined than ever to fight racism by uniting all Teamsters for social and economic justice. Solidarity trumps hate.

Teamster members elected a full General Executive Board last November. Now Hoffa refuses to hold regular meetings claiming that “past practice” dictates that he’s not required to hold GEB meetings. This is in direct violation of the Teamster Constitution, which specifically requires that the Board meet once in every quarter.
