Welcome to the Newspaper Division
webpage. We hope this web site will serve as a source of information on the
latest developments in the Conference.
The Newspaper,
Magazine and Electronic Media Workers Conference brings together workers engaged
in all phases of the printing process, from design to printing to delivery. We
represent Teamster locals in the U.S. and Canada with membership employed in
the newspaper, printing and electronic media industries.
Working with the newly established
Graphic Communications Conference, our responsibilities include:
- Keeping members aware of what is going on in their industries;
- Increasing the overall numbers of members to bring strength to the
division;
- Negotiating multi-location agreements;
- Raising wages, benefits and other conditions of employment;
- Protecting Teamster jobs by resolving grievances and disputes that
may arise between employees and employers;
- Devising and implementing strong agreements for employees; and
- Enforcing and improving safety standards in all types of production
and distribution facilities.
By using the technology available, we can be more responsive to the needs of
the membership and those future workers interested in securing a strong Teamster
contract. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for joining us in
the constant fight for workers’ rights.
