Members of the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers’ Union (NMDU) overwhelmingly voted today to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The 1,500 NMDU members, who deliver bulk newspapers to retail outlets in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, will be members of the new Teamsters Local 1901 in Long Island City, New York. They also join 14,000 Teamsters as part of the union’s Newspaper Division.
The Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union, a proud, independent union established in 1901, is considering affiliating with the Teamsters. We believe that a united labor movement is a stronger labor movement – and are excited about the opportunity to welcome you into our ranks.
