Our Goals for Every Member

Better Wages

Better living wages for all of our members is the cornerstone of our Union work. As a member your receive the benefit of an experienced contract negotiator that will always advocate for higher wages for Union members.

Better Benefits

As a Teamster member, we pool the strength of our 1.5 million national members to negotiate better and more cost effective medical and retirement benefits for our members.

Job Security

California is an “at will” state, meaning employees can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. As a Teamster 2785 member, you are protected by a union contract that provides you with job security and protection against “at will” termination.

Better Working Conditions

Teamster Local 2785 works to ensure that safe working conditions are met on the job. Hazardous or un-healthy environments should not exist in the workplace, and the Teamsters make every effort to protect their members and promote safe work environments.
