The Teamsters Union is one of America’s largest and most diverse unions.
Founded in 1903, the Teamsters Union represents 1.4 million members in virtually every occupation imaginable, both professional and non-professional, private sector and public sector, from airline pilots to zookeepers.
Teamsters stand ready to organize workers who want to bargain collectively.
We stand for strong contracts that guarantee decent wages, fair promotion, health insurance, job security, paid time-off and retirement income. Wages and benefits under Teamster contracts are markedly better than those of non-union employees in similar jobs.
We stand together. In our communities and in the halls of government, Teamsters work tirelessly for social justice - from living wages and universal health care to fair trade agreements that protect American jobs and civil rights.
Who I'd like to meet: Teamster members; workers interested in forming a union; those who care about pro-labor politics, such as the Employee Free Choice Act, universal health care, trade policies that protect American jobs, raising the minimum wage and strengthening the American middle class.

I was rasied by Teamsters and I was for 15 years Special Representative and asst. to President Jack L. Loveall of the UFCW Local 588 Nor-Cal.
I also was Director of Organizing for the American Federation of Musicians Local 12 and the International Task Force of Org.
I left and founded :
The Sonic Laborers And Visual Entertainers Union becaue the AFM will never organize when 65% of it's "Sitting, Elected or Installed Officers and the International and it's local are "EMPLOYERS" by lawful definition and are defrauding AFM Union Members and Non Union Members they employe in the entertainment industry of Workers Compensation, SSI-F.I.C.A., Unemployment Insurance, and other benefits due to an Employee under an employer -employee realtionship.
The AFM is a multi-employer dominated and controled Labor Union and has been since the 1970's (Documentable) Rent the BLUES BROTHERS Movie and see the scene with John Belushi out side the red neck club "BOB'S COUNTRY BUNKER" when he asks he band for their AFM "UNION CARDS" and the red neck band "The GOOD Ole Boys" said suppose we aint got now union cards?
If I would have know the AFM is control by the employers I would have never worked for them.
