Teamsters JC 7 Business Agents are the engine
April 24, 2025
The core of what we do as Teamsters all starts with a focus on the fundamentals of bargaining strong contracts and diligently enforcing those agreements through aggressive representation. Local Union business agents across Joint Council 7 are on the front lines of this day-to-day fight, negotiating strong Teamster contracts and holding management accountable in the workplace.
Business agents do it all, ranging from fighting for members at the bargaining table to consistently communicating with members on everyday issues through phone, text and email, day or night, during the week, and over the weekend. Business agents process grievances, coordinate communications, run numbers at the negotiating table, lead member meetings, work with stewards, organize actions, navigate the law, advocate for members with elected officials, and much more. All of this is to accomplish the mission of delivering for Teamsters members at the 18 Local Unions across Joint Council 7.
While the strength of our union starts with an active and engaged membership, and the foundation of this strong membership is a great team of stewards, Teamsters business agents across Joint Council 7 are the engine that drives our union forward day-in and day-out. Working closely with Joint Council 7 Local Union leaders on strategy, business agents turn strategy into a plan to win the respect members deserve. That respect comes in the form of a strong Teamster contract and taking the fight to employers every day to ensure the rights we have bargained are protected in the workplace.
On behalf of every officer and delegate of Joint Council 7, I want to thank Teamster business agents from each of the 18 Local Unions that make up our Joint Council for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to fighting on behalf of Teamster members. Your work makes our union strong. Thank you.
