DOT Classes

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
DOT has implemented classes for Teamsters supervisors, Mechanic Foremen and other personnel to attain
multiple licenses as 4-G and Hosting 2A -2B.  We sent a cease-and-desist order to stop these classes
until DOT bargains in good faith over changing your job descriptions. Let me be clear: DOT is going ahead with these classes and it's up to you if you want to take this class or not, I repeat your choice. There will be no discipline action taken on any Teamster members.
 
Any questions or problems at all, call me directly.

Rally at the State House

Fri, 10/13/2023 - 1:11pm
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
As you all know, Teamsters Local 127 membership ratified a one-year contract extension back in April of this year, but the legislature has still not authorized our wage increases.
 
Our raises should not be put on hold while the cost-of-living increases keep skyrocketing. That's why we're coming together on October 19.2023 at 11:am at the State House and demand the legislators take immediate action on our outstanding raises. Please make sure to join all of us at the State House on the 19th and we can all let the lawmakers know that we demand and deserve our raises.
 
In Solidarity,
Brother George
