Teamsters 117

AMAZON TEAMSTERS BECOME FIRST UNION TO WIN BARGAINING ORDER AGAINST E-COMMERCE GIANT In a historic decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that Amazon illegally refused to recognize the Staten Island-based Amazon Labor Union-International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1 (ALU-IBT 1) and ordered it to begin negotiations with the Teamsters. Over 5,000 warehouse workers at the JFK8 facility in Staten Island formed their union on April 1, 2022. In June 2024, they officially affiliated with the Teamsters Union, which officially chartered ALU-IBT Local 1. Over the past four years, NLRB has repeatedly found that Amazon has illegally and willfully ignored the union’s legitimacy while attempting to coerce JFK8 Teamsters into ending their organizing efforts. "Four years ago, Amazon workers at JFK8 won an NLRB election. Now, on this monumental anniversary, they have become the first group ever to force the company to recognize their union, and they did so as Teamsters,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This fight is far from over but this ruling from the NLRB is an historic victory for Amazon Teamsters nationwide and a testament to worker power.”

A delegation of airport workers just marched through SEA Airport to deliver a joint union letter to @PortofSeattle leadership but were denied access to the Port Office. SeaTac workers are tired of not being listened to by airport leaders.

No joke: 50% of workers for @SeaTacAirport contractors lack access to affordable health insurance #AirportWorkersUnited #1u

31 paratransit workers at Alesig, a MV Transportation subcontractor, are seeking to join @Teamsters117, calling on Alesig to recognize the union after declaring majority support. They’re organizing for fair wages, affordable healthcare, & more. ow.ly/gBWn50YBV78

After months of anti-union tactics at Mill Rock Packaging, workers w/ @teamsters117 are standing strong. Alleging multiple ULPs for work skimming, surveillance & bad-faith bargaining, the 21-member unit authorized a strike to win a fair contract. ow.ly/3fEQ50Yasm8

#Teamsters @millrockpkg are ready to strike💪 The company is trying to shove a substandard agreement down their throats.🤬 The group just voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike.😤 #1u #UnionStrong #Solidarity

Congrats 🎉 to #Teamsters @RepublicService who just voted overwhelmingly to approve a new 5-year contract w/ big wage & pension increases, improved benefits & no out-of-pocket increases to our members’ medical costs for the duration of the contract. What a win‼️💪🔥

Workers at @SeaConvCenter in Seattle are FED UP with lack of respect and wages that do not reflect their hard work hosting the city’s largest events. Essential work deserves essential wages! #Teamsters #1u #seiu6 #uniteherelocal8

DOC #Teamsters are raising their voices in Olympia today for a secure retirement, mental health coverage, staff safety, and making sure the uber-wealthy pay their fair share. 📢❤️ #waleg #1u

Shout out to #Teamsters @CityofSeattle, dedicated public servants, who keep our city services running smoothly.❤️ #1u

Secretary Noem, your administration now openly authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter people's homes without a judicial warrant.  That is blatantly unconstitutional – ICE cannot authorize itself to break into people’s homes. If ICE attempts such unconstitutional measures in Washington, our state will consider all legal options to hold the U.S. government and individual ICE agents accountable. Proud to join with Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA on this letter as we prepare to protect our state.

Pierce County public workers with @teamsters117 are seeking community support as they negotiate a new contract. Workers say the County’s 2% raise proposal lags inflation & rising living costs, effectively cutting pay for essential workers. Click to help ➡️ ow.ly/qSCC50Y3XNN
