The Union Deal

The Union Deal The Union Deal tells labor’s story- bold, real, union-made. Cards, podcast, and worker memory.

The Union Deal is a storytelling project built by a Teamster who’s been in the fight since 2000. After decades on the job, I started this to document the grit, sacrifice, and power of the labor movement- not from a textbook, but from the shop floor. Through cards, podcasts, and social media, this page honors labor history, calls out the real struggles workers face, and helps pass on the knowledge every generation needs to keep organizing.

We showed up last Monday at nominations not knowing what to expect. A couple members who ran against us in the previous campaign (2022) showed up, but that was it. No other nominations than what our slate had. While ballot = 3 more years.

I might have bit off more than I can chew with this pro labor history podcast, but its still coming along. Still working on EP01. Putting this podcast together has been a learning experience but we're in the home stretch. I gotta admit, it sounds ds FANTASTIC. Improved audios over my last podcast.

One of my favorite parts about learning a new contract is learning the history behind it.

Been working on a project called The Union Deal. It’s a deck of playing cards, but each card tells a simple union story.

Also halfway done working on a podcast where each episode is a supplement to the stories of each face card.

Final product will be printed in a Union print shop and will have the Union bug proudly displayed.

Planning for a November launch.

Union made.
Union printed.
Union delivered.
