You and The Teamsters What is a Union? Is it a Club? Is it a Charity? No. The plain and simple fact is, a Union is a business. A business that doesn’t make anything.

Unions, on the whole, are shrinking in membership, and have been for many, many years. However, they’re still spending money like they did when they were big. Now, the union needs your money . . . your dues, your fines, your assessments . . . to support its expensive habits. The union has already given you a partial glimpse of what this campaign is really about. The information on this website will give you the facts about the rest of the story.
