US: Teamsters growing rapidly over the last two years

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced today the union has grown by an astounding 50,000 new members in the last two-and-a-half years, a direct result of key investments in strategic organizing under Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman since March 2022.

"These massive organizing numbers in such a short period are proof positive that the Teamsters are doing something right," O'Brien said. "We will proudly represent everyone and continue to win stronger industry standards and richer labor contracts for all workers."

This summer alone, 10,000 workers organized with the Teamsters for the first time at a wide range of employers in traditional Teamsters industries like transportation and delivery, including DHL, UNFI, UPS, and Sysco. Teamsters organizers have also found runaway success bringing more workers into the labor movement at once non-traditional companies, including Amazon, the American Red Cross, Costco, and cannabis dispensaries nationwide.
