The Teamsters Union and organized labor is America’s best anti-poverty program, bringing millions of hard-working men and women into the middle class.
Sadly, politicians on both sides of the aisle continue to ignore our country's working families, and the gap between the rich and poor grows larger with every passing day.
For the past 100 years, the Teamsters Union -- 1.4 million members strong and growing -- has been the champion of the working class in the United States. With both Democrats and Republicans beholden to corporations, unions are the only force committed to the American Dream.
Today, America’s middle class needs the Teamsters like never before.
Join us in our fight for a strong middle class and a stronger America.
The Government Affairs Department is committed to educating, mobilizing, and equipping our members to become an army of activists so that -- from the halls of Congress to the ballot box -- the Teamsters will speak with a unified and overwhelming voice. Learn more, and find out how you can get involved.
Corporate governance directly impacts the lives of all working people. It impacts our working conditions, our salaries, our benefits, and our job security. The Office of Capital Strategies monitors companies by examining and researching corporate governance, executive pay, board of directors accountability, stock trends and financial performance.

Be one in a million voices advocating passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. The Employee Free Choice Act can help reclaim the American Dream by restoring workers' freedom to form unions and bargain for a brighter future. Our goal is to give all workers the freedom to choose a union without interference from their employers. We want to gather signatures and photos in support of this bill -- 1 million voices calling for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.
Your help is needed! During this time of economic downturn and continuing job losses, we need to reiterate our opposition to trade deals left over from the Bush Administration, such as the Panama Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The Panama FTA is modeled after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and should not be approved by Congress. Congress should not continue the Bush legacy of bad trade agreements, which cost jobs and hurt families.
