WE ARE THE “TEAMSTERS UNITED” SLATE. Representing IBT Local 8 at PSU.
The golden question… Why are we running?
We are members who work on Penn States campuses every day. We hear our brothers and sisters every day. We are not against our members, and never will be. Regardless if you agree or disagree with us.
We believe moving forward UNITED is how we progress as a union.
This is not a campaign… this is members standing up unionized once again…
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
“EMPOWERING AND REPRESENTING OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS WITH TENACITY, TRANSPARENCY AND TACT.”
WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?
-
Transparency
Every member should know the books are open to us all. We don’t believe in hidden agendas, and believe in sharing knowledge with members.
-
Mending the relationship between our union and Penn State
You can’t have a union without members, and you can’t have a union without an employer. We believe in working and negotiating in good faith, not with hostility.
-
Empowering ALL members
We hope to inspire ALL members to lead, grow and be more involved. Regardless of your position or background.
-
Listen, support and challenge
We’re going to listen to you, support you, and challenge you. We encourage all members to listen, support and challenge us as well. We can move forward knowing we make decisions collectively, not independently
-
Our members and their futures at Penn State are in our best interest. We’ll continue to fight for contracts that provide job security, strong benefits and fair wages.
-
We’ll fight for continued apprenticeships, temporary transfer positions and on-the-job trainings.
-
As a member, you have a voice and a right to use it. We’ll fight for our members to be heard and listened to, no matter the situation.
-
Knowledge sharing and peaceful transfers should be standard practice. No executive board should make it impossible for newly elected members. The strength of our union should be priority, not the hoarding of information.
What will we fight for?
