Top 5 Reasons to Attend the TDU Convention

1. The Best Education in Our Union

“I live in rural North Carolina—where there is not much labor activity. The workshops at the convention have armed me with the knowledge I need to write and present stronger grievances, know my rights as a union member, and understand labor history.”
Nichele Fulmore, UPS Local 391, Lumberton, North Carolina

2. TDU Gets Us the Facts

“Freight Teamsters are worried about the future of our jobs and pensions. TDU is where we go to get the true facts we need to stay informed and join up with other members who want to turn things around.
“We'll be meeting up at the Convention in Chicago.”
Butch Lewis, Holland Local 100, Cincinnati

3. Meet Teamsters Who Are Making a Difference

“You meet the most amazing people at the TDU Convention: Teamsters who are holding management to the contract, mobilizing the members, and winning local union office. I always come back with new ideas and new inspiration.”
Alex Tenchavez, UPS Local 396, Los Angeles

John Lattanzio, YRC Local 690, Spokane
