Divisiveness is our kryptonite.

Solidarity symbolizes the strength of our loyalty and commitment to each other as Teamsters.

The global pandemic has brought immense challenges for our Union and our communities, but it hasn’t stopped us from thinking strategically and planning for the future.

Last Friday, members of our Union joined 60,000 others in a peaceful, silent march to protest the murder of George Floyd and to engage in the urgent and longstanding efforts against racism.

The murder of our brother George Floyd saddens us deeply as it marks yet another case of an unjust killing of an unarmed black man.

With the news of the Coronavirus COVID-19 spreading in Washington State, I wanted to make sure you are informed about the virus and let you know about steps we are taking at Teamsters 117 to help you and your family stay safe. 

Hope your 2020 is getting off to a great start! As you plan out your new year, I wanted to give you a heads up about an exciting new scholarship opportunity for members of Teamsters 117.

On behalf of our Union’s Executive Board, I want to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.

More people across the country understand the value of standing together with their co-workers to improve their quality of life and build strong, vibrant communities.

When members come together and get involved in their union, we can accomplish great things.
