Under General President Sean M. O’Brien, the Teamsters have become the union most successfully and consistently organizing cannabis workers across the country. In four years, the Teamsters have organized thousands of workers in nearly a dozen states, from California to Pennsylvania, spanning the entire supply chain, from cultivation sites and distribution centers to retail operations. As federal policy evolves, the Teamsters will continue building power across the cannabis supply chain, ensuring that reform translates into enforceable rights for workers: https://justcauseteamsters.substack.com/p/why-this-420-hits-different

Registered nurses at Corewell Health East, represented by Teamsters Local 2024, have voted by nearly 90% to authorize a strike. The 10,000 nurses across nine hospitals and campuses throughout southeastern Michigan have been fighting for their first union contract since June 2025.

“This overwhelming strike vote shows that nurses are done being bullied into silence while executives put profits over patients and gamble with our safety and our licenses,” said Rachel Szadyr, a cardiac ICU nurse and member of the bargaining committee. “It’s no secret that nurses everywhere are struggling. We keep losing incredible nurses because of a rigged system that lets so‑called nonprofit hospitals pile more responsibility onto nurses, while stripping away the resources we need to provide safe care. This isn’t sustainable and it’s exactly why we are fighting for the best possible contract.”

History was made last night as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded the first-ever Oscar for Achievement in Casting to Teamsters Local 399's Cassandra Kulukundis for her work on "One Battle After Another."

Two other Teamsters were also nominated in the category: Francine Maisler for "Sinners" (Local 399) and Jennifer Venditti for "Marty Supreme" (Local 817). The win and nominations are a testament to the skill, creativity, and hard work of union casting professionals who help bring the stories so many audiences love to life.

Congratulations to Cassandra Kulukundis for this well-deserved honor, and to fellow Teamsters nominees Francine Maisler and Jennifer Venditti on their outstanding work.
