    Reminder: Aprox. 900,000 Teamsters don't work for UPS

    Not to take away from the importance of the UPS contract, just wanted to remind people that most Teamster bargaining units are in the 20 to 300 member range not 350,000 like UPS.

    Those members and the Locals that represent them are battling some of the biggest corporations and toughest union busters in America. There mostly doing it on their own. They need resources and attention.

    That is all, now go back to the UPS series.

    Does anyone know what the next biggest division is within the Teamsters? I know we have some connected people here. How a out a top ten divisions in size so we can compare them to UPS and the Package Division.

      Top Divisions or employers, by number of members?

    My guess and only a guess because the accurate numbers are hard to come by, Package, Public Sector , and Warehouse, top three.

      Don't forget about the railroad affiliates, BLET and BMWED. After that is probably Kroger who own many grocery chains. The Teamsters represent their warehouses or Distribution Centers.

        My guess on top 10 Division size by membership (no real sense of the order 2-10):

        Package
        Public Services
        Industrial Trades
        Passenger Transportation
        Freight
        Rail Conference
        Brewery, Bakery & Soft Drink
        Warehouse
        Motion Picture & Theatrical
        Construction
