Teamsters

The Teamsters, formally known as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), is a labor union in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1903, it originally represented workers in the transportation industry, such as truck drivers and freight handlers, but has since expanded to include a wide range of workers in various sectors, including public services and warehouse operations. The union advocates for workers' rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions through collective bargaining and political action. It plays a significant role in improving labor standards and supporting working families across North America.
