"Enforcing our contract, reforming our bylaws, running for office: we learned it at the TDU Convention.”
Duke Clark,
Local 726, City of Chicago
The TDU Convention brings together concerned Teamsters who are building a rank-and-file movement to defend our contracts and benefits and rebuild Teamster Power at the local and International Union levels.
The Attack on Teamster Benefits
This year’s Convention will focus on what Teamsters can do about the attack on our benefits:
Protecting Our Pensions: Employers are trying to cut our pensions and even break out of Teamster funds. Teamsters and pension experts will look at the latest changes in our funds and pension legislation—and talk about what it will take to win this fight.
Winning Affordable Healthcare: Learn successful strategies from Teamsters who are bargaining strong benefits, winning affordable retiree healthcare and organizing for healthcare reform.
