Nurses don’t want pizza parties from their bosses during National Nurses Week — they want strong union contracts that protect them and their patients.

The Teamsters Union represents tens of thousands of nurses and is committed to holding greedy health care systems’ feet to the fire to secure and enforce contracts that prioritize safety above all else.

More than 210,000 public sector workers across North America are Teamsters.

In 48 states and territories, it's Teamsters who make everyday life better. In cities and counties, at public schools and universities, in law enforcement, in the firehouse, and in emergency services, Teamsters perform just about every job you can think of.

The Teamsters Union is proud to recognize and represent North America’s essential workers during Public Services Recognition Week.

Help grow and strengthen your union by submitting an organizing lead. Members can earn $500 for every successful lead that results in a ratified contract.

Today, we proudly recognize Sister Maria Barrientos for her outstanding contribution to our union’s growth. She made history as the first member to receive a Referral Incentive from Local 988, turning her lead into a successful organizing campaign at GFL Plant Services.

You can be next. If you know a friend, family member, neighbor—or anyone who deserves a union at their workplace—let us know.

To get started, send their contact information to Organizer Joseph Castillo at 832-453-7638, and help us continue building power for working people.
