TDU members are commemorating Martin Luther King Day with a national day of action to demand that UPS respect the day as a paid holiday and by telling employers it's time to deliver on the dream.

UPSers Teamsters are organizing to win MLK Day as a paid holiday and to end part-time poverty, discrimination and harassment.

Celebrating Black History Month is a chance to learn from the past and unite for a better future by taking up the the unfinished work of labor and civil rights organizers who came before us.

When the Philadelphia Inquirer published a front-page story featuring the richest and most powerful business leaders in the city whining about workers' rights being unfair to corporations, Teamster leaders punched back with a scorching Op-Ed that speaks for all of us.

Teamsters, like all people of conscience, watched the video of George Floyd pleading for his life under the knee of a Minneapolis policeman with a heavy heart and rising anger. 

Teamster members are electing new officers and winning a new direction in their local unions.

"Around the country, rank and file union activists — from teachers to journalists to warehouse workers — have challenged the establishment, who they say is too complacent, too cozy with management, to fight for workers and keep corporations in check."

We honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, and pledge to continue growing the movements for peace, economic security, and racial and social justice that he sacrificed his life to build.

UPS Teamsters in Philadelphia have overwhelmingly elected Richard Hooker to lead their 4000-member local union. Hooker is the third African-American to lead a grassroots insurgent campaign and win Teamster office in the last year.
