New Members


WELCOME TO NORTH AMERICA’S MOST POWERFUL LABOR UNION!

As a new member to the Teamster family, you probably have a lot of questions. We’re here to help answer those questions and assist you in navigating your union. A few questions are addressed below, but you can also click here for a list of Frequently Asked Questions About Unions or call the Local office for more information at 612-379-1533 . 

Your best resources will be your local shop steward or your Business Agent.  Check your union board to find out who your steward is, and find your worksite here to determine who your business agent is.
What is a union?
A union is a group of employees in which a majority decides to bargain collectively to try to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. They can do this independently or with the help of an established labor organization.
why be a part of a union?
Union members typically earn better wages, have better benefits and healthcare coverage, are more productive, have greater job security and contracts, and have safer work environments than non-union workers. Click here to look at some of the differences between union and non-union workers.
what are the benefits?
Not only do union members benefit from stronger contracts and benefits, greater job security, safer work environments and earnings, but also from a variety of services and opportunities such as pension funds, Health & Welfare Funds, and Scholarships. Click here to see the benefits and services available to you as a Teamster.
what's going on in the union at my worksite?
Every worksite has it's own challenges, and the Teamsters are ready to meet those challenges differently.  Click here to find the page for your worksite.
