Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien joined members and local unions of Joint Council 42 in California for the swearing in of Victor Mineros as President of Joint Council 42. Alongside Western Region leaders and International Vice Presidents At-Large Lindsay Doughtery and Peter Finn, O'Brien swore in Mineros to lead Joint Council 42, which represents 250,000 Teamsters across Southern California, Southern Nevada, Hawaii and Guam.



Mineros got his start in the Teamsters Union as a rank-and-file UPS package car driver in Los Angeles and participated in the 1997 UPS Strike, walking the picket line as part of the Teamsters’ fight for higher wages and better work conditions. Under Mineros’ leadership, Local 396 has ratified lucrative labor agreements for thousands of members across the package, sanitation, and logistics industries, and beyond. He has also helped lead the charge to unionize Amazon, organizing the company’s very first unit of Teamsters in 2023. Most recently as Director of the Teamsters Solid Waste and Recycling Division, Mineros led a successful nationwide strike against the multibillion-dollar waste giant Republic Services.
