Teamsters at DHL, Sysco, US Foods and other employers have been extending picket lines to win strong contracts. 

As our union ramps up the use of the strike weapon, members should understand your rights to honor a primary picket if a strike line is extended to where you work.

It’s not just a slogan: it’s a tool for building our union’s power. By extending and honoring picket lines, Teamsters are increasing our bargaining power and winning better contracts.

Some of the 18 Teamster officials in the Western region charged by the Teamster Independent Investigations Officer (IIO) in May and July of 2023 have been suspended from office or resigned their positions, while others await the decision of Judge Barbara Jones. Judge Jones serves as the Teamster Independent Review Officer (IRO) and makes the final decisions on corruption charges filed by the IIO.

With new leadership and a new direction, the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers (UAW) are winning for workers with bold contract campaigns and organizing drives. Rank-and-file power and union democracy are key ingredients in labor’s “movement moment.”

Working people are standing up to their employers and fighting back—and Teamsters and TDU members are right in the thick of it.

Ten Roads Freight workers are turning to the Teamsters for union representation and a better future.

This summer, 8,600 Teamsters approved a new contract at ABF that includes wage increases of $6.50 over five years, higher pension and health and welfare contributions, two more sick days, and MLK Day as a paid holiday.

Together, we made UPS deliver better contract language. Now, it's time to enforce it. Here are some places to start.
