Talking union with high schoolers
July 1, 2019
Students at Mt. Diablo High School learn about the Teamsters.
Local 70 members spent a lovely May afternoon talking with students from Mt. Diablo High School about unions, in general—and Teamsters, in particular.
“We talked about the opportunities available for a great career if college was not in their plans,” says Business Agent Rich Fierro.
The group was joined by Local 853 Trustee Mike Fritz, Joint Council 7 Transportation coordinator Ron Valdez, and Local 856 Stewards Ken Olsen and Craig Bartzi who work for the School District.
“It was tremendously rewarding to share with the students. We plan to create more opportunities and get more Locals interested in sharing in the future,” Fierro adds.
