Happy Retirement to Michael Thompson
October 18, 2023
Brother Michael Thompson began his career as a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1983 as a garage worker at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.
With the assumption of the management of the Fairmont’s parking facility by the Pansini Corporation in 1989, Michael gained experience and opportunities in a variety of hotel, municipal and commercial office faculties under Pansini Corporation’s San Francisco portfolio.
Following Michael’s service as a picket captain at the Transbay Terminal strike in 2002, the leadership of Teamsters Local 665 hired Michael as a business agent overseeing the City’s unionized parking operations.
Michael served the membership with distinction, filing wage claims and unfair termination grievances for countless members over a 20-year period, winning compensation for Teamster members at Boards of Adjustment and at Arbitration hearings.
An avid golfer, Michael participated in charity golf tournaments for the Teamsters Assistance Program (TAP) and the Joint Council 7 All Charity events throughout his career as a business agent for Local 665.
On August 11, 2023, after over 40 years of Teamsters membership, we celebrate Michael’s retirement, acknowledging his contribution and service to the thousands of men and women who make up the membership of Teamsters Local 665.
Congratulations Michael, and thank you!
