August 21, 2024 - Teamsters Local No. 38 Secretary Treasurer Sam Kantak, Vice President Marcus Oos, Business Agent Luke Vaule and Shop Steward Lisa Tarsi stand with Recycling members in Everett facility who recently ratified a contract that can be summarized as nothing less than record breaking. Over the life of the three-year agreement, members achieved wage increases of 41% and pension increases of 52.5%. Not only that, but the group also added an additional holiday, dozens of language improvements, superior Union health care and retirees’ health care that is fully paid by the Company. “Our hard-working members at Rubatino Recycle placed their trust in the bargaining committee, demanded that the Company recognize their value, and stood strong the entire time. In doing so, they achieved a contract that is nothing short of life changing!” - Sam Kantak, Secretary Treasurer “Our group made it clear that it was our time to fight for a record contract. Our Union took those demands to the Company, never accepted no for an answer and delivered on every one of our demands. I am so proud to be a Teamster!” - Lisa Tarsi Shop Steward

On February 15th 2018, we had our monthly General Membership meeting.  During these meetings, your Business Agents give a report on things that are happening in your shops and within Local #38.  I spoke about a conference that we attended on February 5th in Seattle.  Here are some notes from what we talked about.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1975 the United States Supreme Court, in the case of NLRB v. J. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S.(1975), upheld a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision that employees have a right to union representation at investigatory interviews. These rights have become known as the Weingarten Rights.
