Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien addressed the regular delegates meeting of Teamsters Joint Council 28 in Shelton, Wash., today. Joined by General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman and Joint Council 28 President Rick Hicks, O’Brien highlighted recent achievements across Washington State, Alaska, and Idaho and discussed upcoming priorities for the union. Teamsters in the Pacific Northwest have recently won record contracts for 400 waste workers at Recology, ratified a master agreement with huge gains at Republic Services, unionized the first unit of Costco drivers to ever organize in the U.S., and organized 500 workers at Lumen Field in Seattle into North America's strongest union.



"The Pacific Northwest is one of the strongest regions in the entire Teamsters Union," O'Brien said. "Over the last four years, the Teamsters have undergone a transformation. And Joint Council 28 has been a major part of that change every step of the way. You’ve recruited new members from every kind of employer and industry you can imagine. And when 1.3 million Teamsters stand together, there is nothing that can stop us."
