A group of 30 admissions attendants at the Woodland Park Zoo voted unanimously to join Teamsters 117 last year.


Teamsters Family - 

Over the last several weeks, I've been inspired by workers both nationally and locally who are organizing with Teamsters. 

During the holiday season, thousands of Amazon workers staged a nationwide strike to draw attention to substandard conditions at the online shopping behemoth. Members of Local 117 joined the action in partnership with Teamsters Locals across our state.💪

At Lumen Field 🏈, a group of parking attendants joined our Local Union last October. Now, hundreds of workers in Guest Services at Lumen are also demanding a voice with Teamsters 117.

Workers at Costco are also fighting to win their union in many locations across the country. 

This kind of organizing has a powerful ripple effect. When workers take the brave step to join Teamsters, it not only improves their quality of life, it raises standards for everyone in their industry. If you know workers who are interested in becoming Teamsters, I encourage you to reach out to our Union's Organizing Department.

Our first General Membership Meeting of 2025 is this Thursday at 7pm at the Union Hall in Tukwila with dinner starting a 6pm (a Zoom option is also available).

I hope your year is off to a great start. 🎊
