Happening now in Chicago: Teamsters organizers from across the country are gathered for the 2025 Teamsters Organizing Bootcamp Conference.
General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman fired up the room with a clear message — organizing is the top priority, and the union is backing it with action.
In just three years, the Teamsters have brought in over 80,000 new members, with a goal of another 30,000 in 2025 alone.
“We didn’t just move the goalposts. We tore down the whole damn stadium and built a new one,” O’Brien said. “Teamsters organizers are driving the revival of this great union. Because of your work, we’ve reclaimed our place as the strongest union in North America.”
“All it takes is the dedication of our Teamsters organizers to knock down one domino. And it sets off a chain reaction that leads to thousands of workers fighting for and securing better treatment on the job. That’s the power of what you do,” Zuckerman said. “Every single one of you should take a lot of pride in the difference you’re making. Not just in the Teamsters Union but for our entire nation.”
JOINT COUNCIL 32 ENDORSES ANGIE CRAIG
JC32 is proud to endorse Angie Craig for U.S. Senate in 2026. “When we call Angie, she not only answers, she delivers.
Her grit and tenacity will make her a hell of a United States Senator. We look forward to continuing to stand with her.
#Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien addressed Joint Council 32’s quarterly meeting Friday morning in Breezy Point, Minnesota.
O’Brien spoke to attendees about enforcing national contracts, the pending merger between the Teamsters and the Amazon Labor Union, ongoing organizing campaigns, and the need to hold politicians accountable.
Joint Council 32 is led by President Tom Erickson, who also serves as the Teamsters Warehouse Division Director and International Vice President for the Central Region. Joint Council 32 represents more than 75,000 Teamsters from 13 local unions in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
‼️COSTCO WORKERS IN VIRGINIA JOIN TEAMSTERS!
@Costco workers in Norfolk, VA voted overwhelmingly yesterday to join #Teamsters Local 822, marking the union’s first organizing victory at the wholesale retailer in two decades! The 238-worker group seeks strong representation to address years of concerns and improve working conditions.
“This campaign was all about standing together as a group and taking control over our well-being in our workplace,” said Damion Thomas, a front-end cashier at Costco who served on the organizing committee. “We can’t wait to be covered under a strong Teamster contract that will give us a real voice and bring real change to the job.”
Thomas and his co-workers will now join more than 18,000 Teamsters at Costco nationwide.
“Costco workers saw the new energy at the International under the O’Brien-Zuckerman administration, and they wanted in. I’d like to thank the Teamsters Warehouse Division and Organizing Department for their support throughout this campaign. Most of all, I want to thank the workers for standing strong,” said James Wright, President of Local 822 and International Vice President At-Large. “This campaign was all about boots on the ground. These workers understood the power that comes with being a Teamster.”
