While in Kansas City for National Automobile Transporters Joint Arbitration Committee hearings, Director of the Teamsters Carhaul Division Avral Thompson joined Assistant Director Jeff Brylski, and Teamsters Local 41 Principal Officer Joe Monslow alongside Business Agents Kris Taylor, Jason Cooper, and Mark Malicoat, for an early-morning visit to the newly established Cassens Transport terminal in Fairfax, Kansas.



The visit followed the Teamsters’ recent victory organizing 10 Hansen Adkins drivers, an effort that has resulted into 30 Cassens carhaul jobs today and the potential for more.



“This victory means a lot to the drivers here in Fairfax because it brings us back under Teamsters standards and into the Central States benefit plans,” said Bret Rust, steward at the Cassens terminal in Fairfax and a member of Local 41. “It sends a clear message that carhaulers can organize, fight for strong union jobs, and win. With these jobs back under the national carhaul agreement, the future is looking brighter in Fairfax.”
