Collective Bargaining: How to Negotiate Strong Teamster Contracts [2018]

Описание: I recorded and audio reading of the Teamster's negotiation guide because I couldn't find a simple and quick audiobook on the subject. This recording is for educational purposes only. This channel does not represent the Teamsters and it's members. This recording should be considered part of the public domain.

The Teamsters, officially known as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, originated in 1903 to advocate for the rights of horse-drawn wagon drivers before expanding their representation to include truck drivers and various other sectors. Notable figures like Jimmy Hoffa were instrumental in leading the union's efforts. Through a series of significant labor battles, strikes, and negotiations, the Teamsters played a vital role in shaping the landscape of labor rights and collective bargaining within the United States. Adapting to changing economic dynamics over time, the union has remained relevant by addressing contemporary labor challenges and contributing to the advancement of improved working conditions, wages, and benefits for its members.

My hope is this will be useful for any Teamster members or anyone that is a part of a labor union that is interested in the tactics of the Teamsters. If you or anyone you know would like to know more about the Teamsters you can go to their website at https://teamster.org/
