With the “war on workers” gaining momentum in America, the 2012 Teamsters Local 492 Executive Board and Business Agents jobs are going to be difficult and our goals must be set high on behalf of the 492 members, the Union leaders you have just elected are ready for this challenge.
In recent months, we have heard from some of you that you would like to see your Business Agents in the Barns & Centers more often; we are committed to making that happen.
Our general membership meetings will be scheduled so that every member will have an opportunity to attend, this will be done by setting meetings once a month on different days of the week to include weekends. It is crucial to the labor movement that the members get more involved. We are committed to reach out to the members to keep you informed on Union actions and rallies. In the 2012 legislative session, the war will begin with "Right to Work" laws being introduced again, in the next three years almost all of the collective bargaining agreements will be up for re-negotiations, Corporate America will be coming after Teamster members in force. The Union members of Teamsters Local 492 are ready for the fight and so are your leaders.
If you haven’t already, please register with this website so that we can more efficiently keep you informed. It only takes a few minutes and we typically only send a few emails a month so you do have to worry about us inundating you with emails. Knowledge is power.
The 2012 Teamster Local 492 Executive Board wishes to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members for showing your continued confidence in us and for the opportunity to serve you for the next three years.
