    From the Desk of President Tom Quackenbush

    First and foremost, on behalf of myself, the Executive Board, and our entire
    Staff, we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas,
    and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

    This past year, we had a record year of fundraising for our Teamsters Care
    program. We had 53 scholarship recipients, and we were able to help countless
    members in need. We were able to give to many charitable organizations in our
    communities who help so many in need.

    Again, I thank our Teamsters Care Board of Directors and all of our volunteers
    for their efforts.

    I would be remiss if I did not mention our great sponsors that contribute to our
    program. Without their sponsorship of our events, our Teamsters Care program would not be the success that it is. We ask, whenever possible, please consider them for your needs because they believe in Unions and they believe in us!

    In closing, look for our Scholarship Application in the Spring and if
    you know of a member in need, please reach out to me with a formal request at
    Tquackenbush@teamsterslocal294.org.

    Organizing is the life blood of a strong Local Union.  Building the strength of the Labor movement by organizing new members into our Union equates to better contracts and worker protections for our members' and their families.

    In the private sector, Teamsters Local 294 is actively looking to organize the American worker in the industries we represent, in addition to anywhere else workers' hard labor is being exploited.  Our density in the public sector is beinning to grow stronger as well therough newly organized highway departments and DPW's.

    Here's how to help.  Talk to your friends and family about the benefits of being an American Worker represented by Teamsters Local 294 and how collective bargaining, strength and solidarity improves working conditions.  

    Looking to organize?  Call Local 294 at (518)489-5436 or email us at organizing@teamsterslocal294.org so we can discuss how to organize and protect the rights of the American Worker.
