Being a Teamster brings more benefits and discounts to you and your families’ lives than many members are aware. Most of us know our collective bargaining agreement gives us the right to bargain for better wages and benefits and have a say in our working conditions. But being a Teamster means being supported for life, for less than what many spend on coffee in one year. The small percentage of your pay that goes toward membership dues really gives a whole lot of savings for next to nothing.
“Teamsters benefits are an outstanding package of perks and services designed to support every facet of a member’s life, personal or professional. The sheer size and strength of our membership affords us the opportunity to negotiate for a premium benefit package at a discount rate, allowing members to save money.”
– Catherine Cobb, President of Teamsters Local 2010
The Teamsters understand the financial struggles our members face and are committed to keeping dues affordable for all members. Union support has fallen over the years, but the benefits and discounts are still there, because the Teamsters and all Unions believe that without the power of collective bargaining and Union representation, the quality of life and the possibility of achieving the American Dream is unreachable.
Now to the brass tacks of the benefits and discounts mentioned above. The Teamsters member benefits are structured into the following seven categories:
- Financial
- Insurance Protection
- Health, Education
- Travel & Fun
- Home Services
- Hardship Help Benefits
Below are links to details about the benefits in each of these categories where you will find contact information and web access to every benefit and discount you are entitled to as a Teamster. If you have questions or would like additional information on any of the plans or discounts mentioned, please contact your Union Representative.
