Members of Teamsters 117 who work in the food service industry are sending messages of solidarity to their Brothers and Sisters who work at the Sysco warehouse in Spokane.

Let's congratulate and welcome a group of 14 Transdev dispatchers who voted to become Teamsters in an NLRB election on February 10. The dispatchers join 260 drivers at Transdev who became Teamsters in 2015 and won their first Union contract last July.

More groups of unrepresented staff at the Department of Corrections are building power and organizing to join Teamsters.

Over the last two years, over 1000 new members have joined Teamsters and our numbers continue to grow.

New Local 117 members at Transdev spend their workdays helping others. They pick up our community’s most vulnerable residents – the elderly and disabled – and transport them to locations across King County. Now, a first-time Teamsters contract will give them the respect they deserve. Yesterday, the newly-organized group voted by an overwhelming margin to approve the contract.

Teamsters Local 117 has been on an organizing tear recently. Over the past two years, the local has brought over 900 members into the union.

Google and Facebook drivers want to be Teamsters. A group of drivers met with a representative at Google Headquarters in Kirkland today and asked for Teamsters Local 117 to be recognized as their collective bargaining representative.
