My Future Union Representatives

When it comes to warehousing or professional driving, having a reliable Teamster Union representative on your side can make all the difference. These representatives have firsthand experience with the challenges of your job, having started their careers in similar roles. Whether you’re dealing with legal issues or disagreements with your supervisors, the union will support you and provide representation that prioritizes your interests as an employee. Their responsibilities include negotiating collective agreements, grievance handling and arbitrations that benefit and protect all drivers and warehouse employees. Once you and your co-workers vote in a union contract, representatives ensure the company upholds its end of the deal. As a member of the Teamsters Union, you’ll have access to a range of services provided by the head office on Annacis Island, such as education, scholarships, legal counsel, and WCB Advocates, who are always ready to help.

Stan Hennessy, President

“Since I began my Teamster career as a warehouse employee and later a driver in 1972, times have changed, and the Teamsters adapted. Although some things remain true today as they did in ‘72, workers want good-paying jobs, excellent health plans, and solid pensions. The Teamsters Union does that for workers, providing what you need today and for the future.”

Caley Fieldhouse, Secretary-Treasurer

“The foundation to being a Teamster is honour, loyalty and respect. These key principles shaped workers who were paid so little into a powerful force that garnered what seemed to be unimaginable wages, health benefits and pensions from the biggest corporate employers. Today, the Teamsters Union is regarded as an organization that stands shoulder to shoulder with its members, securing industry-leading standards.”
