We owe a whole lot of gratitude to Teamsters across our Union who have been working round-the-clock during Snowmaggedon 2019 to keep our streets clear, our grocery shelves stocked, and our communities safe. 

Workers need unions, and our children who are entering the workforce depend on today’s Teamsters to keep our union strong just as we depended on the Teamsters that came before us.

Greetings and happy 2018 to you and your family. I wanted to kick off the new year with a topic that is personally important to me as your union's secretary-treasurer.

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

This morning we received some news that poses an incredible challenge and threat to our union.

We’ve started this summer with a bang. On one weekend in June, members voted overwhelmingly to ratify two contracts – at United Natural Foods, Inc. and Republic Services - with historic improvements.

The last week in April is recognized as Administrative Professionals Week.

In January, I had the incredible honor of being sworn in as Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 117 to continue to serve the membership of our great Union for the next three years.

On February 14, more than 230 members of Teamsters 117 and their families converged on the State Capitol in Olympia for our DOC Lobby Day.

Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and time to reconnect with your family and friends.
