Learn With The Best

The Teamsters, America’s largest and most diverse union, traces its roots back to 1903 when it emerged as a merger of two prominent team driver associations. These skilled drivers played a pivotal role in driving America’s thriving economic growth. However, they recognized the need to unite in order to secure their rightful portion from corporations driven by greed. Today, the Union remains steadfast in its mission, ready to confront any challenge on your behalf.

There are nearly 1,900 Teamster affiliates throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
