Joining The Teamsters

Thank you for taking an interest in the New Mexico Teamsters Union Local 492.

The Teamsters are widely considered the most powerful Union in the world. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), formed in 1903, now represents a diverse membership of blue-collar and professional workers in both the public and private sectors. Our union has approximately 1.4 million members nationwide and over 3300 members are served by Local 492 over the entire state of New Mexico.

As you can see from our website, we have many companies that we represent. The majority of these companies hire their employees "in house." After being hired, the new employee then signs up to become a member of Teamsters Local 492. The reasons they join are many, but include pension, insurance, superior wages and, of course, job security. The way most become Teamsters is by getting hired by one of the companies we already represent.

If you would like to apply for any of these companies, you can find a list of them by clicking Here or click on any of the links below to apply online. To learn about the Movie/Film Industry, Click Here.

The other way to become a Teamster is to organize your current workplace. If you are currently employed and are interested in having our organizer contact you about the Teamsters organizing your workplace, Click Here to fill out a form to be contacted by our Local 492 Organizer, Jesus Vidaca. If you would like to talk to him directly, you may give him a call at 505-344-1925 ex 21.

We hope we have answered all of your questions and look forward to being able to help you in the future.
