Teamsters Airline Division Underwing Director Bob Fisher and Underwing Safety Coordinator Chris Moore represented the union on Friday, Nov. 8, during the 18th Annual Aviation Education & Career Expo in Hagerstown, Maryland. The event brings together more than 1,000 high school and college-aged students from the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area to learn more about career opportunities in the aviation industry and engage directly with experts from across the field, including Teamsters. “It’s always great to see the next generation eager to learn more about how the industry works and the different paths available to them,” Fisher said. “Everyone in the aviation industry play critical roles in making it the safest form of transportation in the world, and it’s important that the Teamsters continue that record by getting students engaged as soon as possible.” The Teamsters Airline Division served as a sponsor for the event, which will award over $180,000 in scholarships for students. “We come to these events to let students know that when they think about a career in the aviation industry, the best ones are with the Teamsters,” Moore said. “Whether they want to be a pilot, a technician, a flight attendant, or anything else, the best way to make sure they gain the most out of their futures is by joining the Teamsters — the top union for aviation professionals in the world.” The post Teamsters Airline Division Meets with Students at Annual Aviation Education and Career Expo appeared first on International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

In recognition of November as Native American Heritage Month, Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity Commission (HRDC) Director Anthony M. Rosa released the following statement: “The Teamsters honor November as National Native American Heritage Month and recognize both the historic and current contributions of Indigenous workers across the country. This year, the Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity Commission was proud to help launch the Indigenous Teamsters Conference to promote, educate, and empower Indigenous members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters within our organization, strengthen our relationship with Native communities, and create pathways for Indigenous youth into good-paying Teamster jobs. The Teamsters value and respect the history and culture of all Native communities, and will continue to work towards building a diverse and inclusive middle class that all Americans can join.” The post Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity Commission Recognizes National Native American Heritage Month appeared first on International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Contract enforcement is the key to protecting everything we fought for in last year’s historic UPS National Master Agreement. To ensure UPS honors its commitments, it's essential for members to stay informed and engaged. Join the UPS Teamsters Contract Enforcement Webinar on Sunday, November 3, at 12pm EDT to learn how to safeguard your rights. The webinar will cover crucial topics like securing penalty pay for payroll errors, especially over peak season, under Article 17. We'll also dive into the specifics of Article 26, focusing on feeder operations and important updates to the SDLA Clearinghouse, which mandates states to downgrade licenses for drivers with past substance violations. In addition to contract enforcement, this session will introduce the high stakes fight to protect and organize Amazon workers. With Amazon’s aggressive expansion and low-road labor practices, the entire package delivery industry is at risk. It’s vital that UPS Teamsters unite, bringing the strength of our 340,000+ members to take on this industry threat and build worker power at Amazon. This is your chance to stay informed and make sure our contract is enforced to the fullest. Registration is required—reserve your spot now at http://ibt.io/UPSWebinar102724!
