Dear Members,
The Joint Council 10 Organizing Department has agreed to run a volunteer organizer training for members of Teamsters Local 597 that might be interested. Topics will range from how to engage fellow employees at your own workplace when important issues come up to how to engage people outside the union to help them become Teamsters.
We are pleased to welcome the Drivers of Green Mountain Express who voted to join Teamsters Local 597 recently in order to fight for a fair deal from their employer. Press release attached.
The Teamsters and GMT will go into one more round of negotiations attempting to settle the dispute with an agreement that is acceptable to both parties on the 4th of March. In March it will be one full year since we started negotiating with GMT in the hope of reaching an agreement and ending the unfair partition of compensation that exists at GMT.
