Congratulations to the newest members of Teamsters Local 117! A group of Kennel Aides who work at the Tacoma Humane Society have voted unanimously to join our union.

On behalf of our union’s executive board, Michelle and I want to wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

When workers have the freedom to stand together with their co-workers to negotiate, it makes a difference.

It is that time of year for our annual Blood Drive event. This year our Teamsters Local 117 Blood Drive will be held on Saturday, November 18 at the Union hall in Tukwila from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. ALL DONORS will receive a $25 Safeway gift card.

After the election polls closed Tuesday night, we witnessed some great news for Teamsters families. Meanwhile, Teamster women swept elections across the state. Thank you to all of you who worked so hard during this election!

This holiday season our union is holding a Toy Drive to give back to children in need. To successfully pull this off, we need your help!

We are currently recruiting for a Union Representative position for the Department of Corrections.

Our union’s bargaining with the DOC does not stop after the completion of contract negotiations. Throughout the year, we bargain with the State over a number of issues impacting your work.

If you are covered by a Teamsters medical plan through the Washington Teamsters Welfare Trust, you can save on your 2018 medical expenses by taking your confidential Health Assessment.

Teamsters 117 represents approximately 3,500 members who work for local public sector jurisdictions in King and Pierce Counties (in addition to 6,000 state employees who work for the state Dept. of Corrections).

For a third and final time, Teamsters at Fred Meyer voted resoundingly in favor of the fully recommended contract last weekend.

Join us for our 2017 Holiday Membership Meetings for Teamsters at DOC.

It’s a new day for Teamsters at Auto Warehousing. After a long contract fight, members voted to ratify what is clearly their best contract in years.

A small group of Teamsters who work at Wanke Cascade in Tukwila are all on the same page. The group voted unanimously last month to ratify a new 3-year contract.

Please welcome our new addition to the team, Jessica Olivas!
