Five hundred fifty Teamsters came together at TDU’s 50th TDU Convention to share strategies for building union power from the bottom up and to set our course for the coming year, including endorsing and helping to re-elect the O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United Slate.

Members elected the 92 Teamsters United Slate to lead Teamsters Local 92 in Canton, Ohio. The election capped off a grassroots campaign that united members from UPS, Republic Services, Pepsi and other employers.

More than 200 Cincinnati Local 100 Teamsters are celebrating a contract campaign victory at Zenith Logistics, a third-party operator for Kroger. Zenith Teamsters ratified the contract unanimously, 118-0. Their new contract includes a nearly $5 raise in the first year and replaces company health coverage with TeamCare.

UPS announced third quarter profits of $2 billion. The company slashed 34,000 operational jobs and Wall Street cheered. UPS shares rose 8%. Make no mistake—this company and its investors don’t give a damn about the Teamsters who create their wealth.
