Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman convened the first meeting of 2026 of the union’s General Executive Board on Tuesday at Teamsters headquarters in Washington, DC. International Vice Presidents and Trustees received reports on the organizational and financial state of the union, as well as critical updates on communications, political engagement, and ongoing contract campaigns from the Department of Strategic Initiatives, Political and Legislative Action, and Teamsters Canada. “From enforcing our national and local contracts to organizing thousands of new members in just the last three months, the Teamsters Union is staying aggressive this year to improve the lives of Teamsters families across North America,” O’Brien said. “We are negotiating for strong and historic agreements with tens of thousands of members right now at First Student, DHL, Corewell Health, United Airlines, and other employers. We are pursuing meaningful legislative reforms on the state level and before Congress to strengthen workers’ rights. In the Teamsters, there are no days off when it comes to fighting for the safety and security of working people.”
