3 Crises Facing the Labor Movement
09/11/25 - Teamsters Local 355 Sept. 11, 2025 | U.S. LABOR | America did not get to the bad place it is in today by accident. We are here as a result of the combination of a political system that serves money and a half-century-long explosion of economic inequality that has produced an oligarchy. Donald Trump is the product of these factors, but he is not the underlying problem. |

Remembering 9/11/01 In Pictures
09/10/25 - Teamsters Local Union No 570 
These iconic images from 9/11 are truly unforgettable
The September 11 attacks,[f] also known as 9/11,[g] were four coordinated Islamist terrorist suicide attacks by al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. Nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, crashing the first two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the third into the Pentagon (headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural Pennsylvania field (present-day, Flight 93 National Memorial) during a passenger revolt. |

Unions Raise Wages. Tariffs Don’t.
09/03/25 - Teamsters Local 355 Sept. 3, 2025 | WAGES | Tariffs do not automatically raise wages or create good jobs. While protectionist trade policies can help preserve jobs in industries facing unfair competition, strong unions are a prerequisite for tariffs to translate into widespread job and wage gains. Without unions, corporate executives have no incentive to pass on the profits they’re gaining to their workers. |

ZUM BUS SOLIDARITY RALLY
09/02/25 - Teamsters Local Union No 570 
Teamsters Local 570 members at Zum Transportation in Jessup, Md., rallied today to show a unified front and their readiness to secure a strong first Teamsters contract. The group consists of more than 300 bus drivers, van drivers, trainers, and attendants who provide student transportation for Howard County Public Schools.
Earlier this year, the group voted by a four-to-one margin to join the Teamsters in order to fight for a contract that reflects the work that they put into their community and gives them the respect they’ve more than earned.
Wages remain one of the key outstanding issues in contract negotiations, while the employer has agreed to back pay that will be retroactive to the first day of the 2025-2026 school year once the contract has been ratified. Local 570 met with Zum last week and has proposed additional bargaining dates in September. |
