Your union is a democratic organization--where you and the other members have the right to elect local leaders and decide the policies that will affect you. You are a member of one of the more than 500 local unions in the Teamsters. Each local has been assigned a number by the International to designate its location and is chartered to reflect the industries represented.
Being a member of the Teamsters gives you many rights and benefits on the job. It also gives you a chance to join with other working people to win changes in your workplace and your community on the national and international stage.
