Teamsters honor Women’s History Month
 Mar. 2, 2026 | The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is proud to celebrate March as Women’s History Month as we honor the sacrifices and achievements of women in our union and our nation. Since our founding in 1903, women have played a crucial role in the Teamsters Union's growth and success, and in the broader labor movement. Women labor leaders participated in the very first Teamsters convention and, since then, have led the Teamsters Union to the forefront of fighting for gender equality in the workplace and society.
Teamsters nurses refuse to hand over jobs to replacement workers
 Mar. 2, 2026 | In Michigan, Henry Ford Genesys Hospital management refused to accept Teamsters Local 332’s return-to-work agreement that would protect nurses’ seniority and allow 750 experienced nurses to return to their jobs.

Teamsters call on DOJ to stop Paramount-Warner Bros. merger
 Mar. 16, 2026 | The leadership of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is calling on the Department of Justice to block the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros. merger unless worker protections are put in place. Union leaders announced [last] Thursday that they had filed a report outlining key concerns about the $111 billion mega-transaction with the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division and that they are pushing for the transaction to be blocked unless their concerns are addressed. “This merger threatens the livelihoods of the very workers who built these studios into industry giants,” Teamster general president Sean O’Brien said in a statement. “We’ve seen what happens when corporations consolidate power: jobs disappear, production leaves American communities, and workers pay the price.” Learn more

UPS admits driver buyouts violate Central Region contract
 Mar. 24, 2026 | United Parcel Service (UPS) notified the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Tuesday that it was withdrawing its latest driver buyout scheme in Central Region states after nearly 37 local unions filed grievances against the parcel giant for shamelessly violating the UPS Teamsters contract. This action will greatly undermine the company’s illegal pursuit of buyouts in other regions under the National Master Agreement…. “By pulling out of more than a dozen states, UPS has conceded that its buyout programs are illegal. They are scams designed to fuel corporate greed. These programs violate the Teamsters contract, and UPS knows it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. Learn more
