I’m a warehouseman at Lineage Logistics in Algona. We ship, pick, receive. Our product ranges from turkeys to fish to bread. A whole variety of commodities.

Our Teamsters Union is a democratic institution. Nowhere is that more apparent than at our International IBT convention.

I’m a Teamster driver at Estenson Logistics. We haul Darigold product throughout the West. I just became a Shop Steward in the last year. I got involved because I wanted to better our shop and to work for the members.

At the convention, division meetings take place covering all aspects of the work of our Union. IBT staff, Local Union staff and members discuss the successes and challenges that our Union has experienced.

At the Teamsters Convention, Teamster power and pride are everywhere you look. You see it in the streets, in the restaurants, and in the hotels - Teamster power T-Shirts, polos, buttons, stickers, placards, and pins.

Every five years, Teamsters from across the country gather for our International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) convention.
