Highway Work

Dear brothers and sisters,
 
I am asking you today to provide written testimony on your experiences as a highway worker. I need testimony from all our members on the hazards of working on a major highway. Director Jonathan Gulliver provided the legislation and public safety officials with testimony yesterday and he needs “Back Up”.
 
Please call the office today and let’s show these politicians how powerful the Teamsters can be when we all come together. Please get involved with the blue light safety initiative.
 
Thank you,
Brother George

127 Update

Fri, 04/04/2025 - 12:16pm
House Bill. H.2908, An Act SOUZA'S Law to Change MASSDOT Highway Workers from Group 1 To Group 4 has made some progress going forward. The HOUSE and the SENATE have referred the Bill to the committee on  Public Service for review.
 
No promises, but a couple more hurdles and we might have something.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
It is your responsibility to stay current with your monthly dues and to make sure your dues are paid. If you're out from injury or sickness or any leave at all, you need to pay your dues. Teamsters have compiled a list of members that are in arrears and DOT will start deducting an extra $20 per pay period till caught up.
 
Thank you,
Brother George
