🎉 Happy retirement, Theresa Muhe!

After 36 years at the Vestis laundry plant, Theresa is officially retiring!

Theresa has been a proud Teamsters Local 554 member since day one and spent the last eight years serving her coworkers as a Union Steward.

“Being a Teamster has given me stability and the comfort of knowing I had support through the many issues that came up over the years. The Union helped us maintain fair pay and some of the best health insurance in our field.

Serving as a Steward was not always easy, but I hope I helped solve a few problems and keep things going strong.

Thank you, Local 554, for everything, and keep going strong!”

Thank you, Theresa, for 36 years of membership and eight years of service as a Steward!

After more than 43 years as a Teamster, Doug Greene is retiring!

Doug shared this message about his long Teamster career:

"I became a Teamster in January 1983 when I started driving for PBX Processed Beef Express. In August 1992, I went to work for Metz Baking Company, driving transport until January 1999.

In January 1999, I went to work for Roadway Express/YRC/Yellow Transportation until July 2023. In August 2023, I went to work for Interbake Foods, where I'll be retiring on May 31, 2026.

I'm proud to have been a Teamster for over 43 years. I want to thank all the employees of Locals 383 and 554 for all their hard work and the good times through the years."

Congratulations on your retirement, Doug! Thank you for more than four decades of Teamster membership and for being part of the Local 554 family. We wish you nothing but the best in retirement! ✊

LABOR DAY PARADE UPDATE —
WALK WITH TEAMSTERS LOCAL 554 IN THE LABOR DAY PARADE!

We’ll be meeting at the same location as last year — 16th & just south of Cuming St.
Please plan to arrive by 9:00 AM. The city begins closing streets shortly after, and we want everyone staged and ready to roll.

Free shirts will be available on a first‑come, first‑served basis. We’re expecting a bigger turnout this year, with several of the companies we represent bringing their trucks to walk with us in support — let’s make a strong showing!

🚫 New City of Omaha Policy — Candy & Giveaways
For safety and cleanup purposes, you may NOT toss candy or items from trucks or trailers.
All candy, giveaways, and handouts must be placed directly into hands or bags of parade watchers.
This helps keep kids out of the street and keeps the route cleaner for everyone.

Attention, UPS Teamsters Part-timers! Article 26 of the UPS Teamsters National Master Agreement gives part-time UPS workers the chance to take on additional hours as a Seasonal Support Driver (SSD). Teamsters have this right and opportunity BEFORE the company uses any “off the street” hires for SSD work.

To claim this work, UPS Teamsters part-timers must sign the SSD interest list between Saturday, August 15 – Tuesday, September 15.

Don’t miss out on this good-paying Teamsters work protected by our national contract. Reach out to your steward and sign the interest list starting Saturday, August 15!

70 NEW DRIVE MEMBERS IN ONE WEEK! 💪🔥

Last week, 70 Teamsters stepped up and signed up for DRIVE, strengthening our political voice and giving us more power to fight for working people.

A huge THANK YOU to members at the Nebraska Humane Society, AWG, Pepsi, US Foods, UPS Airport, and even our Joint Council organizer, who joined the fight and signed up too!

Every voluntary DRIVE contribution helps us advocate for pro-worker legislation, support local candidates who stand with working people, and build the relationships we need to get things done for our members in the workplace.

70 new contributors is a hell of a week. Now let's keep it going. ✊

Not signed up yet? Talk to your steward and ask for a DRIVE form today!

HUGE shoutout to Very Important Pizza for honoring our picket line! When a business stands with workers over profits, they deserve our business. This is what solidarity looks like.✊

Hey Very Important People. Some of yall have asked why the tap b**r options have changed so much lately.

Its simple. The Banquet will return when the teamsters' demands are met. And not until.

Still got some great b**rs on tap for now. Especially when happy hour (9-CL) prices kick in.

Anyway, hope ya like it. See ya soon.

What a day! 💪🩸

We collected 48 (!!!) units of blood at our blood drive on Saturday, and even more people stopped by throughout the day with donations of pet supplies!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, brought supplies, helped spread the word, or just came out to support. We had an incredible turnout and an even better crew making it all happen.

This is what a union is all about, folks. Workers showing up for workers. ❤️
