Teamsters United has cruised to victory in the Southern Region. Congratulations to newly-elected Southern Region VPs John Palmer and Kim Schultz. See Southern local-by-local results here. The vote count has resumed and Central Region results are being tallied now.
The Teamsters joined the United Autoworkers (UAW) and five other international unions representing members at the largest U.S. defense contracts in a letter calling on Congress to ban defense contractors from funneling money to Wall Street investors through stock buybacks and dividends instead of investing in jobs and infrastructure.
Amazon drivers at the company’s DBK1 facility in New York City marched on the boss to demand union recognition and better pay, healthcare, and job security.
