Prosecutors in Wyoming. Court reporters in
Minnesota. Public works employees in Illinois. School lunchroom cashiers in
Florida.
Teamsters all.
In each case, hard-working government workers realized they needed the
power that comes from collective action. In each case, after studying the
options, they decided the best way to bargain with their government employer
from a position of power was to organize as Teamsters.
Public sector employees organize for the same reasons as any other workers.
They want fair pay and benefits. They want to be treated with respect. They
don’t want to be subjected to arbitrary discipline. They want to be able to
retire with some economic security.
Public sector employees organize as Teamsters because the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters has a record of excellence in winning good contracts
for government workers. Teamsters understand the intricacies of organizing and
bargaining in the public sector.
Every jurisdiction has its own special rules, procedures and
technicalities. Teamsters have organized government workers and won them fair
contracts in towns, villages, hamlets, cities, states, counties and boroughs.
We can help you, too.
Take a look at these five questions:
- Do you deserve higher wages and benefits for the hard work you do?
- Do your friends and co-workers feel the same way?
- Are you ready to fight for your rights?
- Do you want to join a union with the combined solidarity of 1.4 million
Brothers and Sisters and a century of experience?
- Do you have access to a telephone or the internet?
If so, it’s time to talk to a Teamster Organizer.
Call a Teamster local in your area and ask to speak with an Organizer.
