With an overwhelming 95% of ballots cast, members voted to finalize the affiliation with Teamsters Local 2010. With this final vote, AALA/Teamsters said YES to all of the benefits and protections provided by membership in Local 2010, Teamsters Joint Council 42, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
With this vote, members finalized the merger with TEAMSTERS LOCAL 2010. Members of AALA will continue being recognized as full Teamsters members, enjoying all the benefits, privileges and obligations of membership in Teamsters Local 2010.
Our members have spoken loud and clear — and their voices have been heard. With an overwhelming 95% YES vote to secure Teamsters affiliation, our union has reaffirmed its commitment to strength, solidarity, and collective power.
This historic second vote sends a powerful message: we are Teamsters, and when we fight, we win. Together, we will continue advocating for fair and just salaries, protecting health benefits as a human right, and improving working conditions that support a healthy work-life balance for all members. Who Are We? Teamsters!
Our powerful new Certificated and Classified contracts are secured, but our work isn’t done. When negotiations reopen in January for our 2027 raises, we need to show the same, if not more, strength and solidarity we displayed in our contract fight this spring.
Through our Teamsters affiliation, we also established new member benefits—most importantly our AALA/Teamsters Member Legal Services Program, which provides free attorney representation for members whose credentials or jobs are at risk, and a $1 million insurance policy for administrators facing litigation arising from their jobs. Our Teamsters charity provided critical financial assistance to dozens of our members who faced devastating losses in the January 2025 fires.
