Teamsters Local 340 Women’s Committee is conducting our annual food drive in partnership with the Good Shepard Food Bank.

Last year we collected 30,000 pounds of food items that were distributed to those in need in communities throughout the State of Maine. It is our goal to increase that to at least 40,000 pounds this year. We appreciate your assistance in making this a successful event.

Thank you for your generosity!

Workers have the right to a collective bargaining agreement after they vote to form their union. Current labor law is full of loopholes that employers exploit to drag out negotiations for years. On average, American workers are forced to wait 458 days to secure a first union contract.

Teamsters and millions of workers across the country are done waiting. Real reform is needed now. Last month, by building a bipartisan coalition, the Teamsters Union worked with 218 members of Congress to sign a discharge petition, bypassing House leadership to bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act to the floor for a vote.

The vote in Congress is now upon us. Tell your member of Congress to “VOTE YES” and pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-member-of-congress-to-vote-yes-on-hr-5408-the-bipartisan-faster-labor-contracts-act
