Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien addressed the monthly delegates meeting of Teamsters Joint Council 25 in Chicago today. Joined by General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, Joint Council 25 President Thomas W. Stiede, and International Vice President At-Large Juan Campos, O’Brien highlighted recent achievements across Illinois and northwest Indiana and discussed upcoming priorities for the union. He also met with nurses from Endeavor Health who are in the middle of a campaign to organize thousands of nurses and join Teamsters Local 743 in the Chicago area.



“In the four-plus years since General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman and I took office, together we’ve all worked to restore the Teamsters as a fighting union. And we’ve done it in a simple way: By putting the members first in everything we do,” O’Brien said. “That’s how we’ve organized over 90,000 new members, waged more than 340 strikes, and won powerful contracts for hundreds of thousands of workers. So often, Joint Council 25 has been at the center of these fights and victories. The militancy of the Teamsters in Illinois and Indiana makes us all stronger. And it will be key to building and sustaining our momentum.”
