How are the Teamsters different from other unionized workers?
This can be explained in several ways. First, the Teamsters form a big family joined by convergent interests, which can be summed up in five words: the welfare of the members. Then, they are members of a truly democratic labour union. You can be involved at all levels, and express your opinion. The great majority of the officers, business agents, and organizers working in local unions are from the rank and file. As such, they are men and women who are able to understand your issues and demands. What is a Joint Council? A Joint Council is an entity that coordinates the activities of Local Unions within your province or your region.
