Teamsters Local 104

Today’s General Membership Meeting was one for the books! We kicked things off the right way—with full plates and happy members, thanks to our women’s committee, the Copper State Sisters. This was their first breakfast event and we can't wait to see what they do next! A huge THANK YOU to all the members who showed up today. It wasn't just about attendance; it was about participation. Your voices, your engagement, and your energy are what make Local 104 Teamster strong! A special congratulations to all the new members sworn in today, welcome to the Teamsters Local Union No. 104 family!!

The meeting got off to a fantastic start with a visit from a longtime friend of the members of Local 104, Congressman Greg Stanton. We always appreciate his support and his commitment to the working families of Arizona.

We were also honored to be joined by Western Region Vice President Mark Davison and Western Region Vice President Victor Mineros. Their inspiring addresses to the membership drove home the importance of unity and the life changing power of Teamster contracts. On this special day they delivered a powerful reminder: we may be heading into some major battles, but we aren't going in alone. As we stand with our Brothers & Sisters, they stand with us.

When we stand together, we aren’t just our local unions—we are a Teamster family 1.3 million members strong. 💪🏽🔥✊🏻

Today, we hold our loved ones a little closer as we honor and remember those who gave of themselves completely in service of our nation. There is no greater sacrifice.
Our deepest gratitude and our hearts are with the families, soldiers, and friends who carry this loss on this most solemn day.

TEAMSTERS UNION ISSUES STATEMENT AHEAD OF SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BILL MARKUP

The five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill, known as the BUILD America 250 Act, would impact rank-and-file Teamsters nationwide throughout the transportation sector. Ahead of the legislation’s markup in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, led by Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO-6th District) and Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA-2nd District), Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien issued the following statement.

“The Teamsters Union commends the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for addressing many of the Teamsters’ priority issues in this legislation, including expanding CDL training, establishing an autonomous vehicle framework for state and local governments to build upon, creating groundbreaking mandates for physical barriers on transit buses to protect drivers, and putting the final nail in the coffin for Chinese-owned manufacturers trying to destroy the livelihoods of Teamsters who build transit buses.

“The Teamsters support efforts to improve the federal permitting process to make sure investments turn into real construction jobs. Our union also appreciates the bill’s focus on improving roadway safety protections for construction workers.

“While the bill includes positive provisions to protect working people, several critical issues need to be resolved. The final version of the bill must include the Railway Safety Act and other rail safety provisions and be free of any amendments that would dangerously increase the maximum weight of trucks on our nation’s roads.

“The Teamsters are proud to be the largest and strongest union representing transportation workers in America. We will continue to put the American worker and the safety and livelihoods of our 1.3 million members first as this important legislation makes its way through Congress.”
