Rally at the State House

Fri, 10/13/2023 - 12:11pm
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

Membership dues

Sat, 09/23/2023 - 6:46am

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

A reminder that the monthly dues rate for members of Teamsters Local 127 is 2.25% of the hourly wage. Dues increases should be implemented the month following any increase in an employee/member's hourly rate of pay.

Plain and simple, as your pay increases, so will your dues.

I would also like to mention that members that are in arrears with their dues will see that being deducted from their pay as an initiation fee. And with the next two raises of 4% each you will see the dues increase.

In solidarity.

Important news update

Sat, 04/15/2023 - 6:16am

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The executive branch proposed to the Healey administration a one-year extension on the collective bargaining agreement. Our attorneys are looking over the fact of the offer: 4% when we signed the agreement, 4% in six months, one year from the agreement $500 cash. Sounds like a no-brainer, but the Teamsters would still like our attorney's recommendations.


In solidarity,
Brother George

Pay Disparity

Fri, 12/30/2022 - 10:09am

MassDOT has not agreed to bring current members making less than the new hires up to the maximum step grade.  As it stands, MassDOT has the right to bring any new employee in at any step grade on a case-by-case basis, with approval from the Chief Human Resources Officer.  This issue is not able to be arbitrated.  While the Union understands how impactful this is to the affected membership, this unfortunately is the end result of negotiations surrounding current pay disparities.
